wrasse

Hello! I wanted to get some input on stocking ideas for my 60-gallon reef tank. Right now it's mainly empty (just a clownfish and royal gramma) and a bunch of corals. The tank itself is pretty well-established and I'm considering getting a more 'finicky' fish but can't seem to make up my mind...

The Freckle Face Broom Tail Wrasse occurs in the Western Indian Ocean where adults inhabit coral reefs, sand and seagrass habitats up to 30 meters deep. They mostly feed on invertebrates, so are known to snack on clean-up crew members in aquariums. For continued health please feed them a mix of...

I hope I picked the correct thread for posting. This is my first post and now a registered member of this wonderful community. I have learned so much from so many posts and discussion on this website. I am hoping someone may be able to help me with this issue. My Vrolik's Wrasse (Halichoeres...

My LFS has a female Mccosker's flasher wrasse, will it turn male? if its the only flasher wrasse in the tank?

I am currently in the transition of making my mixed coral reef tank into a predator/aggressive tank. I have a melanurus wrasse that I was wondering if it could still be in a predator tank or should I take him out? Thank you!

I've got a running 75 gallon display going right now with 7 Banggai Cardinalfish, which will eventually be 2 when they pair up, and a Brazilian Royal Gramma. No coral yet. I plan on also adding a Yellow Eye White Tail Bristletooth (Ctenochaetus Flavicauda) down the line. I enjoy the Halichoeres...

Hello all, I have a large icecap fish trap I’ve been using to try to catch a 6-7+ inch Banana Wrasse. It does not come out if I’m within 10ft of the tank. I have put the trap on the edge and usually stand around the corner, but from watching across the room and around the corner he has not gone...

Need feedback for stocking a 75. 4’ long, 100+ gallons total including sump. Already in the picture is a pair of clowns, pearly jaw, hectors goby, two cleaner shrimp and remaining CUC. Definitely want a tomini tang or another Ctenochaetus tang. Definitely want a couple wrasses (maybe melanarus...

I have a 7inch Banana Wrasse I added to my 310g tank. Pretty sure hes nipping at my hammer colony, I see little polyps floating around every so often and him picking them once a day or so. Checking to see what peoples thoughts are in a reef tank? Anyone have one that nips at coral? Tank will...

The Red-Head Wrasse is hardy, active and useful fish that is not commonly seen in the trade. This wrasse prefers to be added to well established aquariums with a sandy substrate and lots of rockwork. The Red-Head Wrasse likes to submerge itself in the sand when frightened or to sleep. Also make...

I have a blotchy that’s about 2-3 inches so still on the smaller side. I was looking at getting a couple of captive bred fish from biota which usually come fairly small. Looking at getting a blue mandarin and a Cuban basslet. Other fish I have in my tank currently; captive bred yellow tang...

Hello, I will be getting three new fish soon : (1) Longfin clownfish, (1) McCosker's Fairy Wrasse, and (1) Court Jester Goby and I would like to quarantine these fish, but I have never done it before. What process would y'all use to treat these fish? I have a spare 10 gallon, air stone, and...

I recently introduced a Naoko's Fairy Wrasse into my tank a few days ago. He has been pretty timid, hiding within the rock. I was able to get him to eat yesterday. Today he came right out once I turned the flow off and I saw it as an opportunity to feed him. He readily accepted it. This evening...

What is brilliant yellow, about five inches long, often seen in groups and tropical? You guessed it, Banana Wrasses (Thalassoma lutescens)! Though to be fair, they're often collected singly as well. The females are a stunning sunbeam yellow. Males will gain some orange / green stripes to their...

Which fish if more affective at controlling bristle worms at their small stage? Copper band fish or Wrasse????? The Copper band is a great addition to the tank and I found a wrasse that’s pretty unique looking as well but not sure if it’s a certain wrasse or all wrasse that eat bristle worms

Hi! This is my first post on the forum so please let me know if I’m doing something incorrectly. I bought this Exquisite Wrasse 4 weeks ago and he displayed no abnormal behavior until around a week and a half ago. He started to swim around at the top of the tank and now he rarely goes down into...

Hello, My new Naoko Wrasse has started behaving like this so I've played him in QT tank with crushed peas as I suspected Swim Bladder. Could it be something else?
