Yeah I got lucky. They were the only ones in my area. I've been looking even before my tank was even running. I had two really nice ones in my previous setup, but I ultimately had to sell them.

In the meantime, does anyone know anything about this fish? I can get one, just not sure of husbandry.

Jewelled Wrasse - Halichoeres lapillus
 
Updated tank shots. I need to figure out how to take better pics.

Sorry to hear about the crash. Velvet can be very ugly, very quick! That's a nice line up of fish! I love the pintail wrasse in the last photo, but why is the poor fella lying on the table? :( I've actually been looking at one at my LFS for a while, just don't have the funds for it yet. Just curious, how long have you had the Moorish idol? Good luck on the tank reboot, tagging along!

That pintail is now dead and the cause of the velvet outbreak. He is not lying on a table, he was in a clear plastic bin with water. The moorish Idol I've had since October. I had two, one big and one small. The small one ate everything as was aggressive. He was going after the big one and I had to take him out and I just sold him two days ago. I didn't want to, but the bigger was taking a beating.
