You have no idea how much this is tipping me into another Lubbocki… Maybe once I get my laboutei pair I’ll see how complete my wrasse collection is :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
I love the little one. Complete 180 in attitude. Bold and holds court on the left ⅓ of the tank over the Gonis mostly now.

Okay, I take it back… earlei is a gorgeous wrasse.

So, when will we see him hit your tank? ;)
If that fish hits one of my tanks, @Crabby48 will have my head encased in resin and added as a part of his aquascape... Ok, maybe not my whole head as he's downsizing, probably just the eyeballs.

BUT! Earl is going to a LFS that both Crabby and I will both be able to go visit him in a new ~300g display!

That fish is seriously good looking. Well deserved ego!

Possum has stopped bullying my tomini tang and now appears to be somewhat friendly towards him the last two weeks.

Not sure how I feel about this… the two thugs in the tank teaming up could be bad.

Ha in her tank! Lol. Earl has to have separate food and equipment. Even got a new glass cleaner so nothing from other tanks touch Earl lol

What makes you think I want to look at your face all the time. Those eyes are different story. Thank you for the idea! The new 20 scape just got interesting!

Agree I have seen fish team up to use to their advantage. I say once they get over initial we are friends it will be all good.

Those are more @i cant think s sort of fish
Well, I was looking at it and thought all for it… Then realised it’s the one fish I have seen in person and only looks good in larger (7-8’) reef tanks or in groups.

Im not a fan of black tangs (Infact I really have a disliking towards them). .

Even better photo of the abomination;

It’s just black and bland! A gemmatum is nicer (albeit I have my own conflicts with them… I think the only Zebrasoma I like are Purples and the two Sailfins).
Says the person with a whole long thread hating on them…

Has that flameback bothered any corals? I’m considering moving my cherub to the DT.
Honestly I’ve not seen her bother corals, my majestic on the other hand loves certain corals.

By the looks of it, this is the male colouration! It’s not too dissimilar to the females but dang the whole yellow head is stunning.

That got to be a male. Hope he is eating well for you
