Wrasse! Post your favorite wrasse!

Not the most expensive but here are my three that I have. I lost an Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis) due to aggression from the Longfin :(.

Longfin Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubriventralis) - seems a bit aggressive at times

Flasher wrasses, anyone?

Love my Mckoskers. First photo is out of focus, but was the only one I could get of the incredible iridescent blue at the back of his dorsal fin when he flashes in the lights.

Everyone loves their fairy and flasher wrasses, understandably, but where's the love for maori wrasses? Am I the only one out there that prefers Cheilinus and Oxycheilinus?
 
Big fan of the Halichoeres wrasses. Would love a Halichoeres biocellatus but am happy with my Halichoeres cosmetus at the moment. Its an often overlooked species but grows into a beauty
