Questions about yellow wrasse ???

[ReeferTang44]

Just went to worldwide Coral today in Orlando, picked up a yellow coris wrasse and a convict tang so far the tang seems to be doing great the yellow wrasse disappeared. The second I put it into the tank. I’m assuming it’s in the sand. Should I have any concern to how long it should be under the sand I don’t really know first time dealing with the fish that hides in the sand if you guys have any advice, let me know. I’m excited and nervous, any advice is great. Would love to learn.please and thank you.

Yes, they typically do this and you should see it in the morning. First day or two. dim the whites a little as wrasse settles in

Do they end up swimming around during the day more often as time goes on?

Nah should be fine, sand wrasses do that. Give it about a week or so, its not unusual for them to do that. My melenarus wrasse went into the sand and I didnt see him for like 2 weeks and assumed he was dead until he popped up one day just fine. Gemma, My red coris wrasse disappears in the sand at night to sleep. Normal

Not Coris wrasse! This is becoming my biggest pet peeve...

This is Halichoeres chrysus. A small, reef safe, and very peaceful wrasse known for being beautiful, eating pests, and as a good community member. Credit @JoJosReef This is Halichoeres chloropterus. A larger and more aggressive wrasse but still fairly reef safe and good for bigger tanks and...

Ooooppps sorry master

It is very normal for sand sleepers to need a week or so of sleep. Concern is if you see it come out, get scared, and dive in the sand again continuously.

 

[ReeferTang44]

To be fair worldwide corals had it that way

Do you end up seeing it swimming around on a day-to-day basis during the day?

Yes, mine swims around all day sometimes at the top and sometimes inspecting everything in the tank.

You don’t have to, but do you have a picture of your tank? I’ve been on and off this form for quite a few years. I like getting your advice. I was curious what type of fish do you have?

Do they end up swimming around during the day more often as time goes on?

Yes as they get comfy with surroundings

Do you end up seeing it swimming around on a day-to-day basis during the day?

Yes, Gemma is very active. She loves people and always does a dance when I come up to the tank. Shes BFFs with my sohal tang and they swim around together!
