When do you flash?

Kind of a risque thread but this is for all the wrasse lovers out there, when do your fish flash the most? Lately my Balteatus has been flashing crazy every evening about an hour or so before the lights go off his orange stripe on his side turns pink and he struts his stuff. I have also noticed that my Pintail wrasse chases the female Johnsoni and flashes quite a bit in the evenings as well and seems to leave her alone for the most part the rest of the time. So far there is no fin nips he just chases her into the corner and leaves. Maybe he needs a girlfriend :love1:. My other Wrasses seem to flash at random times but these 2 go crazy every night for about an hour or 2. I am curious if other people have wrasses that seem to be on a schedule.
 
Right now I have a male condei fairy wrasse that flashes every night about half an hour before lights out.

Most of the fairy wrasses I've kept flash the most in the evening but my flasher wrasses seem to flash at random times. The condei is the only one that does it every night though.

Do you have any pictures of the balteatus flashing? I'd love to see some if you have do!
