Description
One of the best kept secrets in the hobby, the Melanurus Wrasse is one of the best problem solvers for Planaria flatworms in reef aquariums. Forget medications that can harm or damage your delicate motile invertebrates! The Melanurus Wrasse will consume flatworms and you will see the difference within a matter of a couple of days. Once the flatworms are gone you have an attractive, friendly fish that will readily adjust to a captive diet and frequent the water column with activity. There are definate differences in the sexes as the female has a spot on it's tail and the male lacks that spot.

Diet
Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. Will learn to adapt to captive diet and will also likely supplement the captive diet by consuming amphipods and copepods.

I didn't buy mine for flatworms. Other than picking at an occasional hermit when its shell gets flipped, I've not seen him go after snails. He's about 4" long.

I don't have pics of the clams and may not have time before the swap to take any. If I do, I'll post them. Thanks.

My wife caught him this morning in the fish trap and he will now safely resides in the sump until Saturday. You'll really like this fish, he's beautiful.

Now if I could find a home for Mr. foxface. Make me an offer if interested. He's not real happy in the sump at the moment.

I've had a Melanurus Wrasse for 8- 10 months now. Really cool fish, I actually bought him b/c my LFS did not have a 6line. FYI you won't see him for the first 2-3 days as they bury themselves at night and when threatened. Mine has in the never bothered anything except maybe pods and other "critters".

 

[cee]

Yeah, and they're a much friendlier fish to boot! He won't hide if you have BB like me:)

OK, no last minute requests? I can frag tomorrow, other requests have been fragged already for almost 2 weeks. I'll bring a few extras for those who like to window shop. Can't wait to see old friends there and meet new ones. How early are we allowed to setup (10:00 OK?)

Hey Dave. I would like to have a frag of the blue hornets but I won't be going to the swap because I have a comp this weekend. Would you save one for me and I could always pick it up another time. Thanks.

Dave ,

In the second picture what is the coral to the right ? I just looked and the prostrata is to the left ?? It is the one one the right that caught my eye .

Thanks ,

 

[cee]

2nd to the right was a free frag from the old ReeferMadness. One on the left is indeed the prostrata. The other one didn't live up to my expectations and has long-ago since found a new home. Sorry.
