Can have both chrysus and leucoxanthus? with my red coris?
I wouldn’t risk adding the 3 as when they grow there will most likely be big disputes, I’d do with your coris atm one or the other, and if you want/need the third a melasmapomus or something that is chunkier, so it’s a bit of a different body shape

and I just found out for $10 a month you get 20% off fishy stuff...and a $5 coupon.
Qould really need to be active to make that 10 worth it.

Petco might be a pretty good option. But, the wont get no earmuffs ( melasmapomus ) in.

Do you have an acclimation box? Seeing as your red coris is still a baby it shouldn’t be too fussed or attentive or aggressive with newcomer wrasse but just to be safe I’d use an acclimation box.

I bet this Petco could. They always have killer selection. Lionfish sometimes; they have a marbled wrasse now; They seem to move a lot of the FOWLER only, super agro fish. They have Jawfish from time to time.
usually they have a powder and a clown tang as well.

I guess wouldn't hurt him to ask.

Sounds like a nice petco up there.

Oo I'll ask... Will try calling tomorrow.

But banking on it being only 1 day since treatment for the flatworms. I am using this as the excuse to get more wrasse :)

A lot of the times I ask our lfs if he can get what I'm looking for. When it comes to fish.

A place where I’d trust to order wrasse from would be MarineCollectors but they are very pricey for my liking, cuz I know you can get them for a fraction of the price,

Dr Reef…..but I don’t trust his wrasse handling very well……

See the thing with wrasse, is they are very delicate shippers, so you’ve got to be overly cautious when ordering even from a trusted supplier. Its a big balancing issue with wrasse prices and shipping chances.

@SaltyT do you know of some good places to ship for wrasse?
Reef Pro Store knows how to pack and ship wrasses. TSM Aquatics does a good job too, but their wrasse selection is minimal. I've heard that Ocean Devotion ships wrasses well, but I don't have any personal experience with them.

Ty!

Checking they dont have exactly the Yellow Coris. Trying LFS owner first if he can squeeze me in on his order. He does QT even :D

Otherwise Reef pro looks awesome! Yellow tail Melasmapomus is absolutely beautiful, and im a sucker for that Red and White Leopard. Gosh

Puffer update this morning.

Passed. No tell tale issues. Found under a rock.
Can't confirm he was eating food given. But was otherwise active and pecking rocks.

Others seem fine. Thankfully
You'd need to autopsy, but know what to look for.

Sorry this happened :*(
