    A LFS got one of these in. They don't ship well so you don't see them often.

    They are jumpers just like all tilefish. You have to have a lid. If you like flashing fish, flasher wrasses are easier to care for.

    That's a Dip and Pour Specimen Container. You've seen them at your fish store while they capture a fish. The fish isn't living in that.

    Very cool. To be honest, I never knew what they were referring to when they called a fish "flashing". I love the color changing!

    I've never seen a flasher wrasse flash quite like that! Looks great. If they shipped better I would consider one for my new tank, they look amazing.

    Do flasher wrasses actually flash like that one does?? That's way cool.
