    One thing to keep in mind with fairy and flasher wrasses though is that they are usually somewhat variable, and sometimes their coloration is only at it's peak when they are kept with a female of their species, sometimes a male of another species may be enough. Just something to keep in mind, they also may not have their full colors until they've been kept with the fish that they are displaying to for quite a while. I've had a couple McCoskers in my tank for a few months now and the McCoskers in the bottom picture (that's my pic) is now getting more yellow in his tail, so he's still getting more colorful just in the last couple weeks.

    I'll add Lineatus wrasses in to the mix (not my pic).

    As well as McCoskers flashers (my pic).

    Oh god...

    This could be a very long post from me. I will keep it short.

    In no particular order.

    Lineatus wrasse, Cook Islands male Scott's fairy wrasse, rhomboid wrasse, Male flame wrasse, McCosker's flasher wrasse, radiant wrasse, Solar wrasse...

    Some of these I have already, and others are on my wish list. The rhomboids (lineatus to a lesser extent too) are usually very expensive, so until I have a hook up for them or make a ton of $$, I won't be getting those. I do have a couple hook ups for flame wrasses though.

    I have a docile 6 Line Wrasse, and an aggressive Dragon Wrasse, he is extremely beautiful but is a carnivore.

    I'm still a huge fan of the male melanurus wrasse. Extremely hardy and absolutely stunning IMO

    Agreed. My favorite by far. I'm not a real big fan of fairy wrasses and the other smaller ones.
