I've always loved A. neoguinaicus and I feel they're very underrated. I understand this genus can be difficult to keep but I love the way these guys look.

My Yellowfin Flasher is the alpha male of the flasher wrasses. He flashes very often and is a joy to watch.

Definitely a big change in color! I assume it is still quite small?

Just added a bunch of snails last week. They just start to have an impact on my algae.
I got spoiled because I have a strain of Isopods that eat algae like crazy and control my algae well until now. As I added wrasses into my tank, they hunt and eat these Isopods to extinction (almost) in DT. These Isopods control algae in my sump and overflow box well. but not in DT. Anyway, I start to see my hair algae going a way. These large snails and my two abalones will clean them up in a few weeks I think.

I am sick today and have to stay at home, but not too sick for taken pictures. I wanted to take a few pictures to show how fat my Labouti Fairy wrasse is. I think I am successful with the following pictures. It is extremely difficult to take good picture of this guy that is for sure. He flash across the whole length of the tank in a second or so. I have to take picture of him right in front of me, or else there is too much distortion from the grass if I take picture at an oblique angle. A lot of pictures were taken in order to come up with the following. Enjoy.
Also a very fat Melanurus wrasse

Looking good!
How many shots did it take to get that nice clear picture of the Lubbock? You're much more patient than I am!

I take 20-50 shots then go over them all just keep a few that I like. I learned photography when I have to use films in 1970's. Cannot see the pictures for weeks, and it cost a lot of money. Even with that, sometime I took 1000 pictures over the weekend (really rare)
