What wrasses you have?

Right now I have a pintail and a flasher (forget which one). Tomorrow I pick up a lineatus and a pair of flame wrasses. After that, I hope to get a pair of mystery wrasses.

Flame Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus jordani) Female turning male

Golden Rhomboidalis Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis) super male
Golden Rhomboidalis Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis) Female

Yellowtail Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses meleagrides)

Redtail Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses chrysocephalus)

Diamond Tail Flasher wrasse (Paracheilinus Attenuatus)
 
Lubbocks Black Bar Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)

Tomorrow, if it looks good and it's eating a variety of foods I'm going to get a Blue Star Leopard Wrasse. Otherwise it'll be a Carpenters Flasher.

ETA: I did buy the female Blue Star Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon bipartitus) but I won't bring it home until it's fully acclimated. It was out and about and looked very comfortable, though!

Speaking of wrasses, has anyone kept burrowing wrasses in a bare bottom tank? I am thinking of getting rid of my sand. Will they do okay with just PVC's to hide in? Or will they stress? They don't have sand in LFS, so I was thinking it would be fine.

[MENTION=3377]wrasse[/MENTION] PM me these...for wrasse in tank with no sand...


Here is some information about the Wrasse Den we were talking about.

The company that makes the Wrasse den:
http://www.thealternativereef.com/ar/Products.html

On Their web site they don't even have the wrasse den listed on their product page though.

Here is a link to an article on reef builders.

These look smaller than mine.

Mine looks more like the one pictured in this link
http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/wra...ilable.150699/

When I placed my order I Just asked for the Den and not in any particular color due to it being an item they may not have in stock. I was sent the natural color, he may have the purple I am not sure. They are about 9 x 9 inches I paid 30. I bought multiple Wrasse Den's to help insure the wrasse to find the den.

I contacted Scott about the dens.

Here is Scott's email

Formosa Wrasse (Coris Formosa)
Checkerboard Wrasse (Halichoeres hortulanus)
Adorned Wrasse or Christmas Wrasse (Halichoeres cosmetus)

Hi Smitty! I want to get a new wrasse and I've always like mystery wrasses. How do you like yours? Do they jump?

I love mines, he's always super active. I don't have a cover over my tank, and he doesn't even attempt to jump out or splash the top.
