Awesome. My Wrasse does this too but I've never caught it actually diving in. Thanks for sharing. Nice looking tank BTW.

That is so cool! I have a wrasse but it's not one that sleeps in the sand. I have always wondered what sand is okay. Would Caribsea Special Grade be too big of a grain and irritate their skin?

Lolol it reminded me of my dog doing 25 circles before laying down. Cool video and pretty fish, thanks for sharing!
LOL. Mybest guess is that he is trying to make sure no one else spots his sleeping spot, hence a few fake passes.

Is it always under the RFA? I guess it doesn’t mind. I need a sand swelling wrasse, this one is very pretty.

yep, this seems to be his favorite spot. Caught him a few times in the same spot, this time on camera. strict schedule too, beds and comes out within 15 min of lights off and on. Cool wrasse, reef safe, doesnt seem to bother cuc either.
