I would love to hear some first hand experience with possum wrasses. In particular, I am considering the Tanaka's Possum Wrasse, but I assume most have similar behaviors. So what can you tell me?

+1 Yes very timid so they have to have similar tank mates and I had some finicky eaters also.

They are timid and do well with peaceful tank mates and plenty of hiding spots.

Do they all turn brownish like that? The Tanaka's are bright red in photos, but then, so are some of the others :)

Banjo was like a purple/lilac with gold stripes, although the do come in browns also. He was a Wetmorella nigropinnata.

I added a yellow-banded to my tank about 4 weeks ago and haven't seen it since. I have no idea if it's still in there.

One of my favorite fish, I have a yellow banded.
Was very shy when I got it but now she comes out to explore the tank as well loves to eat.
