Why does everyone seem to be sleeping on flasher wrasses?

IME, they're very easy to care for, they eat a wide variety of food and get along with most things including CUC. Yet I rarely seem to see them on this sub. Am I missing something?

They look better than mandarin dragonettes and require a fraction of the fuss with pods.

After much deliberation, it seems that moving him is likely more of a threat than poaching. Hes been here untouched for a couple weeks now so nobody else seems to have noticed him yet. My concern is any positive interaction with him removing his fear of humans, hes still terrified anytime someone comes by which means hes likely not getting fed either. Fingers crossed that he eats all the available food and goes on his merry way before something bad happens. Local wildlife is tracking him and if they get around to moving him, even better.

The benefit is that I can go see him whenever I want, and I plan to. I feel its only appropriate to give him a name now. Comment what name you think is best and whichever name has the most upvotes will be chosen.

He's safe from his biggest threat which is other larger gators. But his current spot leaves him vulnerable to birds and poachers (common here unfortunately). How much legal trouble would you be willing to risk in order to move him somewhere safe? Im juggling the idea now.
