    the formossa wrasse I had is actually still doing well to but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone to go buy on purpose they get freaking huge and really aggressive, but it is a really pretty fish, gave mine to a buddy with a predator setup once she got to about 4" long so now shes playing with lions literally but doing really well in a 125 hex front

    Lineatus and rhombus are definitely favorites of mine, but they are $$$$. I have a hard time justifying spending 200+ dollars on a fish. The solar is awesome as well, and a lot less money.

    I have not seen flasher wrasses quite as crazy colored as the mccosker's in those pics Doc. Still, they do look sweet, and in a group the male still flashes.

    Oh yeah, I can see that happening.

    Plus those guys once grown up are so not reef safe it is funny.

    I think so.. one LFS guy has one in a coral tank that he won't sell. He said he needs him to keep all the pest off the corals... He mentioned red bugs don't have a chance with him in there.
    I think the blue star looks better than the standard leopard in the pics but I've never seen a blue star in person.

    I had a leopard in my reef with no problems but he got the trade in for a solar-cool fish for only 45.00.
    those 150+ I cant justify even though its only money-they just dont float my boat that much, I'ld rather dump 150.00 in a 1/2" frag of some LE Chalice-LOL
