Has anyone seen these species available in LFS? Origin is supposedly Indonesia, and Liveaquaria . com lists them both as perfect "nano" fish with max length at 2.5 inches. Sometimes it is known as Tanaka's Possum Wrasse. The second option is another Possom Wrasse, the White Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella albofasciata), also originating in Indonesia supposedly.

Cool.. Thanks guys. Just noticed Henry's shipment post right after mine and PM'd him already. I thought it was an amazing coincidence, but I see from the posts that there are quite a few around. Weird. Hadn't seen them before somehow!

On a separate note, visited the LFS shops here in Pittsburgh while on vacation. Amazing fish and inverts, but toadstool corals etc, are going for 60usd!!!!! ang moh, also saw catalina goby there for the first time as well ! Wish I could bring them back with me, but settled for a refractometer.

Thanks again everyone.
