My elusive labouti wrasse finally captured!

Well, not very clearly, but still...it gives you an idea of how colorful he is...

Peace,

OMG. Gorgeous images, and definitely one of the nicest Labouti's I've seen. How long have you had it, and have you observed any loss of colors or patterns?

I've only had him a month now, Len. I have had the same three fish in my reef for 3.5 years now (banggai and ocellaris pair), and decided to add two more fish recently. The labouti was one, and a 3" purple tang was the other. No color loss as far as I can tell...he plays with his reflection and displays his colors when he thinks I'm not looking.

I'm going to be moving in about 3 months, and will be setting up a 180 gallon reef at that time. I'm pretty sure I'll just keep the same fish and not add any more, unless I plop in another fairy wrasse and a pair of reef-safe pygmy angels.

Peace,

Chip
