I think the one you have is a male. When they are paired up, their colors also become more intense. The whole "supermale" thing, IMO, is just another marketing tool and a way for a reefer to feel better than they next guy even though they have the same fish; I sometimes sit back and laugh at people who must have a supermale "Supermales" are more intense and are larger. Fairies wrasses start out as females, sub males, males, and then on to dominant males. As they get older and more dominant, they get even more colorful. If you pair him up, you will see
Cool, learing every day. How did your male become One Eye Jack? Are Rosy Scales typically aggressive?
