Haha, I was waiting for someone to mention this . This is not a lunar wrasse but an ornate wrasse from the Mediterranean Sea. See below (latin names)

Wow. Thank you for the recap of your visit to FM and the aquarium!

I agree a club Zoom meeting with Claude would be great! We should set it up. In English preferably @Srt4eric @Darkxerox

I was at this place again today: https://www.meeresaquarium-zella-mehlis.de/

Instead of pictures, I took videos (not great quality, portrait mode), and this is what youtube did with it.

Based on last year’s experience, I have focused on finding more literature, but the one I really wanted to find was about to get another update, and only releases in August - which is a brand new edition of the Fossa/Nielson The Modern Reef Aquarium. they are about to re-release Volume 1 after they updated this (in German language only) a few years ago.

Still, I found a few other interesting books/booklets releated to tangs, fish diseases Stony Corals, and Fish of the Indian Ocean.

Here's another video from my visit to the Karlsruhe/Germany Vivarium this week. It recently added a second shark (after the other died, I believe, due to an accident).

I am not sure if I have shared this video already, but I found this quite exciting when they added the second shark, and the drama surrounding this (auto-translate seems to work more or less ok):
