Red coris/ yellow tail coris wrasse

yeah, my lfs=59.99

I know a guy who has connections to wholesalers tho so he always helps me out with a nice price

 

big price difference, if you wanted a McCoskers bad enough i bet he would get a good deal for you

 

I agree, you can always try and haggle him down some. That's a little bit much for that wrasse, but it's still really pretty.

 

well if I go with the potters wrasse or christmas wrasse they will be from him so they are pretty decent prices...

but i just discovered this little guy and i think i might be stuck on him

thats a cool looking wrasse

 

well i guess ill toss in my 2 cents.i have a corris wrasse in my reef still a juvi bout 3 inches or so.im pretty sure he ate my cleaner shrimp but i did not witness it. hes taken out afew hermits but i can deal with that. he gets bullyd a little by my 8 line but not to bad.its really creepy to watch him disapear into the sand and move under the sand... all in all so far i like him nd ill deal with the negatives (like i have a choice lol i cant catch him for the life of me)

 

Macropharyngodon wrasses are some of the more difficult wrasses to keep, FYI. Make sure you understand their care requirements before trying this.

Filamented flashers are potentially some of the more aggressive flasher wrasses. Almost any other flasher would be better (Carpenters, Yellow Fin, Red Tail, Blue, McCoskers) AFAIK. The good news is that most flashers are quite similar in color and form, with a few exceptions. Even ones that aren't so expensive.

Christmass wrasses are one of the more delicate shippers in the halichoeres genus. I thought about one of these but if you can find a nice Melanurus wrasse they are very similar and IMO can be even prettier than some of the Christmas wrasses. In fact I think a lot of times these wrasses are misidentified as one another because they can look so similar. These are fish I wouldn't buy sight unseen though because they can be so variable. The large male Melanurus can be quite stunning, if you get a smaller female you may not be as happy with their coloration and I'm not sure what chances you have for them changing to a nice colored male in captivity are.
