amazing, how much did he cost you? if i had one of those available, i would probably trade out my royal gramma for it (since they have similar colorations).

I also have a Gramma loreto in there and they have never showed agression to each other.

I'll PM you on price.

Thanks for the compliments!!

Gorgeous fish bradleyj & NeptuneofSC. I am starting a 120 also and it's going to have the special fish in it and I hope to get a harem going in it.

Yep she's a keeper (Wendy that is) and the fish is pretty cool also!

Cheers guys, thanks for the great comments!

This was actually taken over a week ago, and he has really colored up nice and gold/yellow since he settled in.

Idol and Mystery wrasse

Just added Rhomboid Sat. & so far the Mystery has played well with the her. Was sold to me as a female, but could be on way to morphing to male (I hope). Eating like a pig like all wrasse.

Rhomboids are my favorite fairy wrasses. My male has so much personality. He likes to stare back at me when I'm looking into my tank as you can see in my avatar. Here are some other pics of my pair:
