I would agree. Two male Lubbocki is too much even in my larger tank. While they did not kill each other, there was a constant state of war between the two of them.
Mine didn’t have constant war, mine surprisingly coexisted better than anyone would’ve thought.
There was 2 days in 3-4 years where they truly fought and that was last month and I believe January. Other than that all I saw was displaying which is IMO natural as all wrasses even without it being the same species display.

No idea. About a week ago I didn’t see it in the morning. Haven’t seen it’s body but I have cats so it might have jumped
I wouldn’t worry too much still - I’d say wait a few weeks to see if she comes out of the sand. You may also find your other sand sleepers bullying her.

When is pink streak season again? Are we getting Jason Momoa for that?
Though that would be very cute I worry about framing both Jason and a pink streak in the same shot. Maybe we get Tom Cruise for the pink?

Some of those better be going home with you.
That finifenmaa was taken yesterday but he won’t be in my tank until Friday when I can actually watch the tank for aggression :)

The Argus was very nearly a steal as it is just stunning. The Madagascar I just find to be a bit bland.

That Cirrhilabrus finifenmaa is actually quite the stunner!

Love the purple rays in it's fins.
Definitely, that’s one of the reasons I got him, that purple reminds me enough of the Lubbocki but not too much to make it feel like I’m replacing him.

Did I miss something? They are all yours.
I wish haha, instead only the Finifenmaa is mine.
Maybe I’ll throw in an Argus in the future.
