2023 is starting off on a High Note! After many years, I've finally found a Pink Streaked Wrasse. From being Seasonal to there being an absence of them during Covid I believe from 2020 to 2021, my LFS got one in last week and surprisingly this guy didn't sell (they usually sell in the first day) (i walked past it too at first before noticing it). It was hiding really well in the tank (I'm guessing why people might've missed it) since there was a Six Line in there that could've been bullying it.
Always wanted one of these since they're not only colorful, but also a lot more peaceful than a Six Line and eat pests.
LFS also got in a Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse that's also been on my bucketlist, but once I saw this guy, I knew who to choose.

He now lives in my Macroalgae Tank with the Helfrichi (still doing very well if you saw the other thread), along with some Captive Bred Eviota & Trimma Gobies. Once he's settled in, he should be out and about!

Absolutely love my trio!
I’m planning to hunt a pair of another fish by the way ;)

Here’s an old photo of my trio whilst in acclimation - they’re tiny! They are trochus snails that they’re in the bucket with.

Congrats on finally getting the fish, the pictures of it are really good!
Thank you
Nice! Do you know where your LFS got him from? I've been looking for one for a long time and they never seem to be in stock.
Unfortunately I don't know the source, they just have it listed as "Mixed Wholesale"

You will likely find this is because they are currently out of season - In the article above I mention them being a seasonal fish and go slightly more indepth about when the best time to find these guys is.
In short you will likely have better chances from late February until early April and late August to Early October.
