I was very fortunate to have picked up this guy from LiveAquaria (DD)... I've been waiting for it for a while... I couldn't be any happier...

AWESOME!

I know this isn't on the same level or anything, but I just got a McCosker's Wrasse yesterday.
Still waiting for him to come out, aquarium lights on in a few min.

Congrats on your new find!

That acclimation box is a cool idea.
Where did you get it?
Or did you have it made?

WOW :jawdropsopen:

awesome... I have 2 McKosker's also... they're my oldest fish atm... got a trio but I gave the biggest one to my bro... so I was left with two juvi's and one is turning into a nice male and the other just hangs out, occasionally chased by the bigger one... good luck with your McKosker's... they are also very nice...

Thank you... it's the best flasher wrasse IMHO and only a handful people has it atm... I hope they bring in more so more people can enjoy them...

This thing is jsut incredible!

Do you like the Filamented Flasher Wrasse? I plan ong etting that for the 125.

AWESOME!

Beautiful fish. I love a nice wrasse.

I've been eyeing the McCosker's trio in the DD.

If my reef wasn't open top I'd get one... flashers are jumpers, and will jump, 100% if you don't have a covered tank.

Beautiful fish! I pretty much love every type of flasher available in the trade. They're colorful, very active, and best of all reef safe! I have a McCosker's in my 24G and he's doing great. Lots of personality and coloration. I'd love to add a 2nd type, however in a tank this size most would oppose that. I stand correct on my assumption right?

well, I let him go last night after the 1st snack... I normally thaw their food and feed them increments... tonight there was 3 increments... nobody seemed to care much about him when he was in the box, think again...

at first, the McKosker's messed with him but he held his ground pretty well... then, I got a surprised... the Hooded started chasing everyone and focused his attention on the Attenuatus for a quick second... I didn't expect this at all... the Hooded normally messes with the female turned male HI Flame every so often... I turned off the lights and left the PowerBrites for a few minutes to diffuse the aggression... the Attenuatus started peeking out again and when the McKosker's got close, he started flashing them, both the smaller one and the larger one... I think he'll dominate both McKosker's if he can somehow get on the good side of the Hooded... lights are all off now and I'll manually turn them on tomorrow for more observation... wish me luck... man, it was awesome sight seeing the Attenuatus flash, even with just the PowerBrites on...



Thank you... I like the Filamented as well but I just don't have enough room for more wrasses... I'm saving some room for Rhomboids and Laboutei...



Thanks...



Thank you... it's definitely a nice wrasse... I had a trio of McKosker's before... I still have two left...



they will for jump... I just double checked the back screening of the canopy to make sure there are no holes they can jump out of...



yes, I wouldn't add another flasher in there... your best bet would've been adding the wrasses at the same time... right now, the McKosker's have established itself in the tank...

I love Laboutei Wrasse

me too...

la booty

LoLz...

Amazing looking fish. Wow...

Thanks...

okay... here's Video # 1... please excuse the tank condition with the algae and all but the tank will be under construction this week... new sump to accommodate the CS-200 skimmer better, new scape to incorporate the pillars from gooch, etc... I'm also taking out the two McKosker's I've had since Aug of last year and giving the Hooded a 3-5 days time out to let the Attenuatus get acquainted with his new home... both of the McKosker's and the Hooded are giving the Attenuatus a hard time acclimating but he's eating every feeding time... he's only out when the PowerBrites are on... since I got the Attenuatus, I've only had one complete photoperiod day... but it's gonna change soon...

That is awesome.

Thanks... my bro and I did some work with the tank last night... and I'm really liking the new look....

I really like it!

Thanks...
