Welcome! Glad to see more pipefish in the reef tanks. I'm really looking forward to getting some. How does the possum wrasse do in there, does it stay hidden or swim out in the open?

i have the yellow banded wetmorella(Wetmorella nigropinnata), my rockwork is really open and on acylic legs to allow for randalls goby and pistol shrimp to build burrows and caves but the wrasse has moved in as well so i only see him at feeding time and at lights out, but still a great fish for the smaller tanks
slightly better looking wetmorellas are Wetmorella tanakai and Wetmorella albofasciata, also consider pink stripe wrasse(Pseudocheilinops ataenia) as it might be a bit more outgoing
