Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 25, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted November 25, 2010 The top left of the tail looks like from another fish... very unique tail. most members of this genus have this characteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 LADD made a typo. it should be arquatus and not arguatus. Suezichthys arquatus is a very rare wrasse from Australia and New Zealand. It is cool water species and is very difficult to keep. The males are very very beautiful and the pictures online do no justice. Kuier's book have very nice photos but i'll post some other day. here's a male and female pic from google. The genus Suezichthys boast of many VERY RARE and gaudily coloured males but almost all of them are very very very difficult to obtain. and i believe LADD's S. arquatus was the first. and they don't grow big too! Female is nice also. But sadly it's a cold water species, not suitable for our tropical climate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus away the blue head and green back it has the look of the rusty flame. So i would say it may be a rusty flame x coral beauty. Hence a bit of flame angel blood. Yes, the terelabrus sp. from maldive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had told them the pricing I guess they would have fainted. does not seem special enough. Google alpheus randalli and at least have 1 or 2 pure white ones. i think the pure yellow and red ones more special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
