    ....Yellow Flanked Fairy Wrasse!!! I'm QTing him in a 10 gal until it will be save to put him in the 55. (Brooklynella). Anyways, my lfs bought him as a "Hawaiian wrasse". so they were selling it for $20. I used some credit from a past pair of Clarkiis and got it for $10.. :D I didn't know what type of wrasse he was, so I looked on LiveAquaria, and found the exact species. found out it was worth $70. :) He's eating cyclopeeze, mysis, brine, and pellets already!!
