    Love for wrasses + photographic memory = means I can see a (decent) photo and know what it is.

    :)

    It's a male; females look quite a bit different with this species and are not often collected due to looking plain in contrast.

    I'd caution against adding too many other fairy wrasses with this guy in a 57gal tank; they tend to get a bit territorial once established.
