Just got a baby dragon wrasse for my reef. Very cool looking fish with interesting behavior. I read that they try to imitate seaweed to avoid predators. I have to say I think it works either that or my fish are freaked out by his looks haha.

Anyone ever had a dragon wrasse in their tanks?
 
No and I’m JEALOUS!!!! Saw one at one of our LFS this week and wanted to hit the buy button! We have two wrasses already in our 100g, I don’t think our pod population would be very happy if we added a third. Do you have a shot of the new tank ruler?
 
AMAZING fish!!! Top 5 favorites for me personally! Also, they get very large and eat any crustaceans they happen to feel like as they grow larger. He will also rearrange anything you don’t have glued down. Small things at first, but as he grows what they are capable of moving is astonishing! GLUE EVERYTHING DOWN! Hahaha
