What kind of wrasse is this?? Also, what kind of luck have you had with that angel? I want to add an angel to my roof so bad but after a lemon peel and coral beauty killed a gorgeous frozen tundra Trachy I am very hesitant. Couldn’t move the trachy to QT fast enoughI love this wrasse. So beautiful and docile.
That is my Terminal male Anampses neoguinaicusis, AKA China wrasse or Porcelain wrasse. Not the easiest wrasse to get establish but not impossible and is very beautiful, but relatively inexpensive. Does not get too large. Mine is about 4.5-5 inches. Started out just under 2 inches about 5 years ago. There is a thread on my China wrasse somewhere hereWhat kind of wrasse is this??

Their natural diet is the mucus from millepora polyps. A healthy (not starving), well fed osff will typically not damage any coral. There is some risk if there are small frags, the filefish isn’t accustomed to a prepared diet, or if they aren’t fed multiple times per day. I feed mine 5-6 times per day (3 times w/ auto feeder). If you are familiar with their mouths, essentially it’s a tiny tube. They are literally incapable of ripping or tearing coral flesh as you may witness an angel or butterflyfish do.How reef safe are they? I know that they feed on coral polyps.
Love the JD! We had one when I was a kid (and couple oscars) - she lived for almost 15 years I believe. Super fun fish. RIP Rainbow. ❤Goby makes it easy:
Bit harder to get a good clown shot:
And some of my favorite freshwater shots:

And I know not a fish, but nassarius snail:
Beautiful! I've been trying to decide between this or a lemon peel angel as the final addition to my tank in a few months... I know they're not 100% reef safe though - have you had good experience with yours?Bicolor Angel.
This is a very elegant angle with simple but highly contrast coloration
The midas will always be in my top 3 favorite fish
I love these shots
I am a fish guy. I don’t have hard to keep corals in my tank any more. Just anemones a free corals and lots of fishBeautiful!

I have a feeling that's how I'll end up as well, as I decided to get into saltwater more for the fish than corals too. Corals and nems are just background for the fish to me. I don't plan to buy expensive or hard to keep corals for that exact reason. Thanks!I am a fish guy. I don’t have hard to keep corals in my tank any more. Just anemones a free corals and lots of fish
I'm going, French....most beautiful fish on the reef imo....Grey Angel close second.
19? Wow!Allow me to introduce you to 'Deuce' on the loose... Will be 19 years in my 90 this February....
I'm with @OrionN .... lots of softies, and big Nems to fill up the space ( which I love) , then the fish have a bit of spotlight too...I have a feeling that's how I'll end up as well, as I decided to get into saltwater more for the fish than corals too.
