Hi all, has anyone seen a cortez rainbow wrasse selling in LFS ?

gouldian, does these come cheap ?

HI Yiling,

Thalassoma lucasanum aka Cotez Rainbow or Bluehead wrasse is definitely a beautiful fish to behold. If I remember correctly, I have seen then once in CF. But can't remember how much they are liao.

They are usually found in Eastern Pacific: Gulf of California to Panama and the Galapagos Islands. Thus, I believe this will give you a rough indication of their price. ;)

Unfortunately, they are only suitable for Fish Only tank as they will feed on hardshelled invertebrates and crustaceans. ;)

In case I spark and mass buying of wrasses. :D

Actually according to most literature, most wrasses are not reef safe except for a few species. :(

But as a general rule, most from the genre Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus typically feed on zooplankton and thus are considered by many as reef safe. :D

But can get a pair of C. Jordani below $200... Can get a pair of C. lineatus below $200?

not sure... if this shipment ever comes in IMo will be one of the first australian fairy wrasse shipment

Eh FYI lineatus is very very rare thus ap pair of them is definately more ex than jordani.. jordani maybe only found in hawaii area but their number is great and they are more common
