does anybody own an 'exquisite wrasse'?

This is a fish that I'm looking to buy in the future. It is for $60 but it has the most beautiful colors I've ever seen on a fish! At least that's what I've see in the 'Drs. Foster&Smith' catalog. If somebody out there has one, are they that colorful? any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've been wanting one of these myself....but I am worried that they tend to "jump out of the tank" so that means you have to have a lid. Any comments on this?

They are indeed a most beautiful fish. A picture of the one I got from them is here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/download.php?id=12995 That is in line with the Marine Depot Live picture of them. Maybe it is a M v. F thing? Dunno. Right now s/he's in a covered QT tank. Don't know how he'll fare in my main.
