Hello all. A local fellow RC member is breaking down one of his smaller tanks that had only one fish in it. He was nice enough to give it to me. The only time I have taken care of Halichores Wrasses was when I ran a LFS. So I never had kept one for an extended period of time. I know some can be difficult, but this guy or girl is eating everything and anything. Any idea if this is a Male or Female? Can you pair these Wrasses up after one has been introduced? How do you go about pairing them up? Any advice on these Wrasses? Am I correct that this is Hal. marginatus? Thanks!! What do you think of him? Later, T

I always knew that fish as H. marginatus, but Kuiter's book splits them up and calls the Red Sea one marginatus and the Indo-Pacific one H. lamarii. Your fish looks like a male of the latter. Females would be dusky. BTW: FishBase does not recognize this change....
