This is, in fact, a Christmas Wrasse (Halichoeres ornatissimus).
Updates?
I had an opportunity to grab one of these and I didn't but I do regret it now. A top notch LFS in my area had 3 colonies of this, selling for...
I believe the original polyp is as big as it's going to get, probably 3" across when it's fully inflated. I do have a baby now also. The original...
Ha, true. Do they go after him everywhere or just near their "spot"? He'll learn if so...
It also left small "pieces" in its wake, which turned into babies. You can spot 4 in the picture.
Them flashing at each other is nothing to worry about; normal behavior. This is just them "working out" their hierarchy. So long as it doesn't turn...
Maybe it was like a partial release then? You could see the base "stretch" or elongate over a period of weeks for it to move in one direction. It...
So I guess I'm standing alone here? I watched my St. Thomas move a little, and I have a picture to move that at least some mushrooms (ie - yuma),...
Yup, they certainly can. It may take weeks, but eventually he may move a few inches to be in a happy spot.
Not exactly on the subject of fragging, but did you rule out too much light causing the tissue recession?
I see where Steve is headed, and I agree. 17 doesn't seem possible. I'd have a LFS double check that before I did anything drastic.
I could probably be convinced of that, at least in general.
I bet you'll find things to be alright. With flames, the supermale line is fuzzy at best. I was trying to really show the contrast. With a flame...
Hey, I said extreme examples! :D
Extreme examples here, but: Male Flame: [IMG] Supermale Flame: [IMG] Another species, as this one bodes well to the "rule":...
It's simply coloration. The best and brightest are supermales; there's no clear line drawn in the sand. True, most single females will transition...
You'll just have to see how it goes. My Scott's used to be the most aggressive out of the bunch, but since the lineatus was added, he's become the...
There's a lot of people who mix fairys quite successfully, myself included. Some say proper aclimation is key (ie - an aclimation box), so the...
And I just thought about an inappropriate fudge comment :P
