Lubbock's Wrasse
Pictured above is the Lubbock’s Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki) in a mixed reef aquarium. The patterns on individuals seem to vary quite a bit. Some have horizontal stripes while others have blotched patterns, similar to the one above. As with most wrasses, two male Lubbock’s wrasses will become aggressive towards each other if housed in the same tank. They will size each other up, nip at each others’ fins, and relentlessly hound each other until one is removed or dies from the stress.
