C. bathyphilus is found only in Australia (northern GBR), Chesterfield Bank, near New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
4 (male) and 5 (young male or large female) is apparently an undescribed one from Fiji and Tonga that will probably be named soon. It has a prominent black prolongation from the first dorsal fin that bathyphilus does not possess. |

 I get them from a few different sources but I try to keep my fish as healthy as possible by feeding multiple times a day and I add Vita-Chem, Selcon and Garlic to the frozen foods each day. The Lyretail Anithas I got from LiveAquaria and I have some other fish from them as well  My Labouti and Potters I got from the same local guy that heuerfan got some of his guys from. The Solar I got from another local guy and he was the first wrasse I added to my tank about 4 months ago Thanks again for the kind words!!! |

thanks for the web site...
I didn't see a price list or stock of HI Flame wrasses.. do they normally carry them? if so, how much do they run? male? female? also.. do you guys know what's going on with Brian over at Twilight Aquatics? I e-mailed him twice but haven't gotten a response.. maybe he's out on a dive? Thanks Marvin |

well i lost my C. roseafacia a couple of weeks. she just disappeared. my mystery wrasse didnt care for her much so maybe she just got fed up and moved on. i was really disappointed because she quickly became my favorite wrasse.
well last weekend my ac in my apt. went out and i lost 90% of my corals, my rhomboid, solor, and mystery wrasse. ( i know this is really bad to say but i wont miss the mystery  )the only wrasse that made it through was my pin tail wrasse (thank goodness cuz i believe he would've been the hardest to replace) anyway, made a special trip to l.a. today (thats 2 hrs away) and i found another roseafacia. she/ he is much larger than the last and i hope as personable. no mystery wrasse so hopefully nobody to pester/ harass the new addition. wish me luck mr tanaka, i was wondering how do you sex them?

It is a pitty for everybody that lost one's favorite fishes or pets. I hope you would find another. Pin-tail FW is a very rare, unnamed one from northwestern Pacific and is a quite beautiful fish.
C. roseafascia (Rose-band or Red-striped FW) is also rarely seen in retailers and is the largest species of the genus, exceeding 20 cm (in Fiji and Samoa). The differences of the sexes are somewhat difficult to tell exactly but the tail is longer in males, but short and rounded in females and juveniles. good Luck ! The male (top) is just 16cm long, and female (lower left) some 8cm, and juvenile some 4cm.

Great pics as usual Tanaka!
Achillies- sorry for your lost, how much did the Roseafascia cost if you don't mind me asking QUESTION: noticed my male flame is shedding its skin, near the tail. I've been soaking all foods in selcon, vitachem, etc... He is eatting very, very well. I occasionally see him scratch against a rock but not often. I've read that shedding is due to parasites, should i take action or leave alone. Thanks for the advice, Steven |

i paid about 90 for each. both from the same place. as far as the loss, im ok with it. things happen. my friends were watching the tank and were able to tell me what was wrong and we got it fixed so i didnt lose everything. its kinda funny, the "sturdy/hardy" fish i lost but my regal angel, bellus angel, achilles tang, balck tang, mandarin goby and pair of leopard wrasses made it. at least i didnt lose everything like snipersps. now i just have to convince my friends that they didnt do anything wrong.

if it gets bad Heuerfan then i would treat with prazi pro.
I think it is "reef-safe" but im not 100% sure.

they will get long fine. Add the leopards first, and you will have no problems.
