:upsidedown: Gotta 'FLASH IT'...'FLASH IT'...! ;)

:rolleyes:McCosker's Flasher Wrasse aka Paracheilinus mccoskeri

Bright coloration, showy finnage and ease of adjusting to captivity are all major plusses for this peaceful, shoaling fish.

Husbandry Concerns

In terms of husbandry, the McCosker's flasher wrasse is similar to most flasher wrasses. It should be kept in an aquarium of at least 30 gallons (larger if you intend to keep a group) with plenty of live rock and a tight fitting lid or eggcrate covering (flasher wrasses are jumpers). Most wrasses appreciate a sandy substrate. If you are going to keep a small group (which is recommended), add the females first; otherwise add them all at the same time. McCosker's flasher wrasses are easily bullied, so be sure to keep them with peaceful tankmates that will not outcompete them for food.

Diet

The McCosker's flasher wrasse should readily accept a captive diet of varied foods including meaty bits of marine flesh such as raw table shrimp, squid, clam, and mussel. We recommend either freezing, briefly steaming or quickly microwaving all raw table marine flesh to minimize the chances of infecting your livestock with parasites.

Supplement raw meaty marine flesh with some type of herbivorous food such as a flake food formulated for herbivores (e.g. Sea Veggies Flakes) or seaweed strips (like Sea Veggies or nori). Nearly all flasher wrasses will readily take commercially prepared pellet foods, frozen foods, and food mixes like Blue Zoo Mix.

Flasher wrasses have a high metabolism and should be fed several small meals a day rather than two large meals. Alternatively use a refugium as part of the system’s filtration. This will provide a constant food supply of small live foods (e.g. copepods).

Species Tips

Expect male filamented flasher wrasses to display their colors and finnage (“flashingâ€) to other males and available females. To insure the male does not lose its color, keep one male with two or more females, or keep two males of different species of flasher wrasses in the same sufficiently large aquarium.

:yeah:Naoko's Fairy Wrasse aka Cirrhilabrus naokoae

Cirrhilabrus naokoae is a new fish for saltwater aquarists to consider adding to their tropical fish-only or reef tanks. First described by Jack Randall and Dr. Hiroyuki Tanakain January 2009 in Aqua; The International Journal of Ichthyology, this small (probably to 7.5 cm) fish is a wrasse from the Indian Ocean, and it is a real beauty.

Cirrhilabrus naokoae frequently goes by the common name of Naoko's fairy wrasse in the marine aquarium hobby.

A New Fairy Wrasse

Cirrhilabrus naokoae appears to be closely related to other so-called fairy wrasses, especially C. joanallenae, C. morrisoni, and C. rubriventralis. The males of all four species share an elevated dorsal fin and large pelvic fins. According to Tanaka, C. naokoae is the 46th species within the genus.

Cirrhilabrus naokoae Husbandry

Although new to the hobby, the following husbandry information appears correct based on anecdotal evidence and what is known about like-species.

Cirrhilabrus naokoae is not an overly aggressive fish, and more than one may be kept in the same suitably large aquarium. Two males have been successfully kept together in the same aquarium by a number of aquarists. Although maintaining a small harem is often preferred when keeping fairy wrasses, the female of this species has yet to be described or collected for the hobby.

It is perfectly suitable to keep Cirrhilabrus naokoae with other fairy wrasses, as well as other peaceful community fishes. This fish is not a picky eater and should readily accept a variety of common foods including small pieces of marine flesh (e.g., table shrimp), frozen food, and flake and pellet foods.

While not aggressive, this fish is certainly not timid either. Once acclimated, it should spend its time actively swimming in the water column.

Be sure the aquarium is covered, as many wrasses are known jumpers.

Cost of Purchasing a Naoko's Fairy Wrasse

As mentioned at the outset, this is a brand new fish to the hobby, and so the price is often quite high. This may change if the demand is sufficient and collection is straightforward and sustainable.

Cirrhilabrus naokoae or, more commonly, the Naoko's fairy wrasse :wub: is a beautiful, relatively hardy, albeit expensive, tropical marine fish appropriate for most marine aquarists with a suitably sized peaceful community tank.

:D Sneaky PIC of an elusive Sailfin Blenny aka Emblemaria pandionis :look:

The Sailfin Blenny is a fun little fish perfect for small nano-reefs or community aquariums. They can be found in colors ranging from white to brown and even black. Their name comes from the high dorsal fin that they display when threatened or as part of their courtship behaviors.

Like other blennies, this species may eat some algae growing in the aquarium. Blennies will also accept many other types of food like pellets, frozen formulas, brine shrimp and others.

The Sailfin Blenny can be kept with most other community tankmates like damsels, clownfish and angel but they may become territorial with time and will defend against trespassers in their area. They are safe for reef aquariums and will not harm invertebrates. It will spend most of the time on or around the bottom or perching in the rockwork of the aquarium.
