Before all the marine velvet chaos hit, the last additions to my tank were going to be a couple of fairy wrasses.
Well, I went ahead and added two fairy wrasses to my fish tub. I added a male terminal phase red-headed (in honor of my wife) solon fairy wrasse and a male terminal phase yellow flanked fairy wrasse. I've never actually seen a yellow flanked fairy wrasse before or even heard of it... but in person, it is ridiculously awesome! I've never been so enamored by a fish before... it's a crazy assortment of colors, with a giant orange spot on its side, and then to top it off, the back end of it looks like it has dragon scales!
I hope you don't mind I borrowed your stock picture Peter! (Coralimports)

To total off the list of the dead:
Powder blue tang, two chromis, midas blenny, and two mandarin gobies. [emoji20] RIP!
I plan to still add the regal angelfish and the mandarin pair soon to the tank directly and let them acclimate to the tank as I observe them. If they seem to be doing well and show no signs of illnesses for 2 weeks, then I'll reintroduce my fish population back to the tank. I may replace my midas blenny and that will be the end of my fish stocking plans.
