wrasse

Hey guys, so I'm still fairly new to reefing and this is my first wrasse and I've never had a parasite issue before, so bare with me. Couple days ago got a Melanurus Wrasse from my LFS and never noticed anything on him when I got him and hadn't noticed any weird behavior at the store. He was...

Hello, I have a 45 gal bow front tank that has been running for just over 3 months. I have had 2 small clownfish in it for the past 6 weeks. Yesterday my kids and I drove the 1.5 hrs to our local fish store to get our next fish. We spent at least 2 hours at the store talking about the tank...

Canary Top Wrass - (Halichoeres leucoxanthus)

Red line wrasse - (Halichoeres biocellatus) I still can't believe it's a red line wrasse but we'll see.

my most recent project has landed me in possession of some very nice/expensive flasher wrasses. Currently I have a supermale flame wrasse with a female mate. along with those beauts, this weekend i have a half banded flasher male coming from a phillipines stop after their home madagascar. for...

There are 2 female leopard wrasses introduced together and great companions for the last 6 months or so. Today I saw them doing this. Not sure whether to be concerned.

Big worm- little fish Long story short I finally caught a bristleworm that was living in my pico reef. Its BIG about 2-3 inches maybe and fat. I have a frag tank with a six line in it, still pretty small. I know people use wrasse as a pest control for these guys. But I'm wondering if a six line...

Tonight I ran into, without question, one of the strangest things I ever have in all my days keeping fish. I recently finished adding my fish back to the DT after a long fallow period for ich. They’ve been back about two weeks, and tonight I cut the lights off a little early to acclimate a new...

I added a couple new wrasses to a tank with two established leopard wrasses. One of the two new wrasses is also a leopard wrasse. It is intimidated by the other fish and stays buried all day except a couple days where it emerged for less than five minutes. I managed to catch the interaction on...

I have a tank with two resident female leopard wrasses. I recently added an ornate leopard wrasse (a different species than the ones I have) and a yellow coris wrasse to my tank at the same time. The yellow wrasse adjusted well and the established wrasses accepted it without a second thought...

I have a 100 gallon reef tank with lots of live rock and 2 leopard wrasses. The wrasses have been fat and happy for about 6 months now. They hunt all day but I think they get most of their food gorging themselves on frozen food. I want to add another wrasse to the tank. I am thinking of adding...

I have a melanurus wrasse that has outgrown my 30 galloon biocube and will soon be moving to my 100 gallon reef. I want to replace him with another wrasse that helps with pest control and was thinking of maybe getting a six-line wrasse. Plenty of people say they are great community fish and...

I have 2 leopard wrasses in a 100 gallon tank. I Have heard leopard wrasses are very peaceful and was thinking of adding a yellow coris wrasse to the tank community. Is this a bad idea?

Hey guys, My peacock wrasse is distressed after his best mate jumped and I'm really worried about him :( He's swimming erratically not eating like he should and iv put something over the top of the tank now but I'm scared if he gets the chance he will jump to! Do I get him a new wrasse friend...

Welp, as some may know I've been reefing since about 2012. I started out with a 2ft cube that I loved and then moved out and in with my partner 4 years ago and took the opportunity to upgrade to a larger system. That tank went well for the first couple years but then after several major issues...

Other than making sure it has some sand, would a Coris wrasse do as much pest control as a sixline? I hate my sixline. Hes a typical jerk and I really love the look of green coris. Thoughts?

I have two leopard wrasses 4 inch and 3 inch roughly. They both have the speckled female color pattern and look roughly the same except for size. They are active, eat well, and get along great. Usually they are within a foot of each other at any given time so they seem to prefer to swim and hunt...

Hi all. I am stocking a fish only tank and decided I want to add a red coris wrasse. I’ve kept one once before but ended up taking down the tank a few months lather when I moved. Last time I bought the wrasse as an adult but this time I’m buying a tiny juvenile (about 1.5 inches) since I’ve...

So before I added my Melanarus wrasse to the tank my Tomini tang used to calmly graze on nori over the course of a few hours. Now whenever I put nori on a rock or clip the Melanarus will shred it to bits and have to floating around the tank in a million pieces in about 30 seconds, making a...

Welcome to my build thread! Want to learn how to grow chrysophytes, bubble algae, and vermetids? You came to the right place! This first post will feature the latest information on my tank, including latest updates as well as list of equipment, fish, and corals. A table of contents to key...

Hi all, I have a 1.5" female leopard wrasse. Will she change to male with no other wrasse present or stay female? Do they change sex?- ive read conflicting information and found males and females for sale- but not sure what happens when you start with juveniles. Also if they do change and I...

I'm prophylactically treating my melanarus wrasse for flukes since I know a fish from the same source that died in another QT had flukes. This wrasse has eaten like a horse (she will take down an entire cube of PE mysis by herself in minutes) since I got her Saturday, so yesterday around noon I...

I have two Wrasses up for sale, need to re-home them. Both have been through multiple rounds of Prazi, full treatment of copper, and GC. They are healthy and parasite free. They eat frozen brine, frozen mysis, live black worms, live brine. The lepoard Wrasse I have had for 2.5 years...

Hey, Does anyone know if a yellow coris wrasse will eat stomatella snails? I'm considering getting a yellow coris wrasse but I have a lot of stomatella snails who keep my tank without any algae. I'm concerned the wrasse will eat the snails thus allowing the algae to grow?
