Can C. Lunatus be mixed in a 100 gallon reef? I know they are in the same complex, but their complex is the least aggressive and requires the least amount of space. Example C. Lunatus, C. Isosceles and C. Brunneus?
Ugh, yeah that's not an option! I hope they pull through for you, that environment should at least put them at ease for the first while. Such a beautiful fish. Good luckThanks. My QT system is a reef with inverts, snails, pods and everything. Lots of Macroalgale. I also use it to QT frags so I cannot change the salinity too much. Essentially they go into a healthy reef
Just got my pinkface! Such a beautiful fish.
I’m jealous that’s a beauty of a wrasse.
What is the markup like?I may still QT an occasional hard to get fish if I find one I want that Humblefish can't. Otherwise I'll let Bobby do my QT for me going forward. It's well worth the price to have beautiful, healthy, ready to introduce fish arrive at your door.
Where did you get them?I am getting mine tomorrow. All 4 of them. I hope mine will do well.
What site?I just ordered 4 of them from another online site, never used them before. Fingers crossed. They should be medium sized so I’m hoping they ship well.. they should be here Thursday.
Just FYI drip acclimation from 27 up to 35 is not a good idea, especially for stressed or sensitive fish (in your case both). In the future I would just make your qt match their water (in your case you could have just removed salt water and add Rodi until it matched. Then gradually top off with salt water during qt until it matches your display.I don’t have good news. The 4 came but 1 DOA and three on their side.
I hope to get one or two out of this but the largest was all but gone.
Salinity was at 27 ppt. Mine QT system is 35 ppt. I quick drip maybe 1/2 hr and in they go. Wish me a lot of luck.
I ordered 4 medium but got two large and two medium.
Sorry just saw that your qt is a reef essentially. Imo you should gradually lower that down to typical fish shipment params to minimize stress.Just FYI drip acclimation from 27 up to 35 is not a good idea, especially for stressed or sensitive fish (in your case both).

@Greenstreet.1In the past I had C. Lunatus and C. Isosceles together for years without any problems.
Right now I have in qt A pintail and a maybe crescent tail both juveniles will be going into my Dt that has a C. Brunneus in it already.
What makes you leery of adding a lunatus to the mix?I've seen a C. Isosceles and C. Brunneus get along but I would be leery of doing C. Lunatus with ether of those. I plan on a C. Brunneus to add to my C. Isosceles. One reason they may get along is the difference in tails - lyre vs pin/diamond shape. But I would leave that question to @evolved or @eatbreakfast
@Greenstreet.1
You will have to let me know how it goes. I am very interested to see how the three do in your tank. What size is it?
Too similar to the C. Brunneus in body shape, but again I could be wrong. Just an observation.What makes you leery of adding a lunatus to the mix?
I guess you are the guinea pig then unless it has been done before.They are going in a 75g
I do have to say that the C. brunneus I have had and the C. Isosceles I have now have really nice laid back temperaments so you maybe ok. Especially if there are more dominant wrasses in the tank.What makes you leery of adding a lunatus to the mix?

What is it?I don’t mind as you know I love my wrasses so it’s all good.
I just found a next one of my must have I’m trying to see if I can get out of here in time to get it or have my boy pick it up for me. The addiction is real for me I get the shakes when I see wrasses[emoji23]
Yeah I set up a third QT on Saturday for two new additions that I probably should have waited on but I had the room. Now just juggling. Single flasher by itself in 10 gallon QT will be the first to go into my DT next week. Still treating and observing two other fairies that have been in QT for over two months.I don’t mind as you know I love my wrasses so it’s all good.
