wrasse

Is there anything but a wrasse I can ge to eat amphipods. I like the look of gobies but need one they can take down some serious pods. I’m running a biocube 32 so it needs to be smallish.

Hey all, I have a beautiful male Blue Star Leopard wrasse who has been in my 135g display for 3 years. I’ve had him on frozen and pellets for years now. I’ve also had a mystery wrasse for roughly 1.5 years and the two have been getting along fine with the leopard being dominant. Long story...

HI there, Im looking for anyone who may be looking to rehome large coris wrasses either yellowtail/ red coris (coris gaimard) or black and white coris wrasse (coris flavovittata). hopefully in the range of 8-16". I've tried the small ones(3-4") and they tend to get pushed back during feeding or...

Unknown Neurological Wrasse disease (UNWD) There is a disease that afflicts newly acquired wrasses, usually Cirrhilabrus fairy wrasses or flasher wrasses, Pseudocheilinus, but occasionally other species as well. The gross visual symptoms are always the same; the fish shows a rapid onset of...

I’ve been thinking about removing my sand but I do have a melarunus and a yellow corris wrasse. I would like to add a second gyre to blow on bottom of tank. Is it possible to keep these wrasse in bare bottom? I really don’t want to get rid of them.

Hello fellow Reefers! I’m trying my hardest to figure out what happened to my Pink margin wrasse.. I bought her about 3 weeks ago, then maybe 3 days later had a horrible diatom breakout.. she was swimming and eating just fine.. I did a 3 day blackout while trying to raise my nutrient level. Day...

Is this normal behavior? When I went near him with a net, he started swimming around the tank. I just got this fish delivered today. I put food in the tank and he ate, so I'm hoping he's gonna be okay, but he went back to laying on his side. He's not breathing heavily, breathing normal.

Had him for about a week, was eating gin up until today, sort of found him lying on his side this AM, but then he moved & then all of a sudden came out and swam a bit, he did not seem to be as interested in eating all like he has been: There is a shallow gash (1/2 inch or so) on each side of...

I purchased a carpenter flasher about a week ago. At first it had a hard time adjusting but then it did just fine. It was eating well. Now it’s just lying in the corner of my tank. I tried feeding him today and he didn’t even flinch. I have no clue what’s going on with it. Any thoughts?

I’m finally restoring my neglected tank and am getting around to adding back to my stocking list. On the list is a female melagaris leopard wrasse to pair with the male I currently have. I once had two females and one transitioned to male. But I lost the remaining female and the male has been...

I bought a yellow flanked wrasse a few weeks ago and it’s been swimming with a curved/sagged tail since day one. She’s really healthy and can/does swim very fast when needed (occasional chasing, feeding, etc). Most of the time though, she won’t swim very far and she takes breaks here and there...

Hi guys. I have a 180 gallon mixed reef. I was hoping for some advice about mixing and introducing some wrasse, dither fish and bottom dwellers to my tank. Esentially anything small that will help add a bit of a sense of scale and colour when compared to my tangs - which I realise I have a lot...

What are some wrasse that would be fine in a 40 gallon breeder? There are so many beautiful ones out there and would love to know if I can have any “good” ones. We do plan on getting a Mandrian Goby. Also must be reef safe.

Merry Christmas Wrasse Everybody! Seeing that it is the Christmas Wrasse's special day of the year, lets see your Christmas Wrasses or other Halichoeres Wrasses to give them the attention and appreciation they deserve! Hopefully they aren't all avoiding the cameras by sleeping in the sand bed!

I know people have strong opinions on lighting programs and especially about how much blue is in them. I don’t want to debate that. I’m happily running the WWC program on my AI 32 and trying to lock in my fish stocking plan. So I know some will look better or worse with my lighting. My tank is...

My small piece of the ocean, 12 gal JBJ nanocube, has been running since June. We have soft and LPS corals, crabs, and amphipods- oh my. Everything was going well until the Zoas snapped closed and lo and behold- the dreaded Zoa Spiders. Sucked one out and dipped in iodine immediately, but I am...

So anyone who's seen my first build thread or read any of my several posts about planning this upgrade may already know this, but while this is my second reef tank, it's my first one with a sump, so the learning curve has been steep this time around as well. I've been planning this upgrade...

I am new to the hobby and started my first salt water tank, a biocube, about 3 months ago. After 4 weeks I added a clean-up crew and a few weeks later 2 clown fish and a blenny. Last week I added a six line wrasse but I am concerned about what appears to be happening with his skin. It appears to...

I currently have a juvenile ocellaris clownfish and an orange ricordea mushroom in my tank. In order I am thinking of adding these fish though I’m not sure if adding all of these are possible or if I would need to cut down. black and white ocellaris clown Royal gramma or carpenters wrasse...

I’ve had a heavy digitate hydroids infestation for about a year now. Seemed to be the more ‘mild’ kind as only one type of zoa seemed a little bothered by contact. I cut back on feeding, stopped broadcast feeding, added Halloween hermits, but saw no population reductions. 3 days ago, I was at...

Hey All! Super new to the hobby. Just “inherited” a 120 gal tank + fish from a friend who was moving. I’m looking for tips and advice as to how I can make the tank better. It’s a 120 gallon tank running on a fluval FX4 filter, eheim jager thermostat heater, 2 AI prime lights and 2...
