Well i finally got a shot of him not the best but i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of wrasse he or she is .
 
ya adam can be my witness LOL its way better in person . hes orange on the top purple middle and like a blue bottom . those are just the major colors . he has been out a bunch today hes been shy for about a week
 
I had to go through 4 books but I found it it is Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis a "Gold Flash Fairy Wrasse" max size 3.5 inches minimum tank size 36x18x18 50g Geo Western Central to Pacific ocean. Got all of the info out of a book so no credit to me other than looking it up.
Thank Philip Hunt for the info.
 
I like to use my books but man is beaten by the web and my slow typing, once again but now you have two names for the same fish. I just got a Hawaiian two spot Wrasse he is awesome, the first time I saw him he winked at me, but he is even more aggressive than any other wrasse I have ever owned. He acts like some kind of mini grouper.
