    Picked up this guy today ... LFS had it marked med. fairy wrasse ... Price was awesome as he was on clearance (19.99) and had a 5 dollar coupon. I'm pretty sure it's a lubbocks (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki) ... He ate so I snatched him up. he's currently acclimating. I'm sure evolved or one of the Wrasse experts will chime in here ... Thanks in advance. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1370641411.324158.jpg

    Btw thanks!!! Figured you would chime in! He's in my 40 now until my 75 gets set up ... Any problems with him and a melanarus together in that size tank or should I leave him the lone wrasse??

    Definitely fair. While they're not an expensive species, $30-$50 seems to be the going rate these days.

    Should be fine; and these guys don't get much over 3".
