I have a pair of these wrasses, have had them for over a year Lovely!

My male has lost most of his prime coloration though (the reference pic was when I got him, wild coloration), and color-wise, has pretty much reverted to female coloration. I will need to get him more females in the future to bump his coloration back up to where it was when I got him.

Male (now, after a year in captivity):
