Red-lined wrasse

[wcu]

Halichoeres biocellatus

First, let me say I'm an admitted wrasse addict. I had never run into these guys before, but I got one a few weeks ago and he's quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. He's super active, beautiful, and bothers absolutely no one. My orchid dottyback doesn't care for him very much. He's so passive he'll let a possum wrasse dart in front of him to get food. Perfect reef fish. Thought I'd spread the word.

No need to spread the word here, they are my absolute favorite of the Halichoerus wrasse and definitely the most underrated.
I am jealous and still waiting to get one for myself. BTW, this thread is worthless without pics (hint, hint)
