Head injury as a kid eh? That explains alot!

Congrats on TOTM. Your tank is very impressive.

 

[allenjj]

Congrats

Congrats on the tank. As I rebuild my reefing skills I ultimately want to get a 300g or more tank to work towards what you and others have created and share here. In the mean time I keep working on my 90g and hope one day to have a beauty like yours. Congrats.

Thanks Wes... BUT... some doctors have told me, the problem is not the head injury...it's the 4 years of college that I spent down south!

Rookie, you are correct. It's the Naoko's Fairy Wrasse http://www.qualitymarine.com/Products/Fish/Wild/Wrasses/Cirrhilabrus-naokoae/Naoko's-Fairy

Everyone's correct!!!!
You can see that the upper color on him, is much darker that what most sites show. Not sure why, but after he put on a 'display' dance, and the red color turned dark red, it eventually ended up black...but still a nice looking wrasse...that can be very aggressive, to certain other new wrasses.

Maybe he/she just changed sex! we all know your tank is good for fish changing sex!

I have the Naoko's Fairy as well. When it "dances" the metaillic colors in the fish really pop out at you. It has a tendency to pick on the female Conde Wrasse that I have in my 120 gallon reef tank even though the Conde was there first. It's a pretty fish and I but it when it started that dance from AqOb in NJ.

Would be nice to see something this full and large in person and just stare in a daze
