In my experience this is not normal. If it hasn't eaten at all in 6 days it's not because of shipping stress, it likely has internal parasites or is being harassed by a tankmate. Can you post a pic of your biocellatus?

I will post a picture of it when I get home, it’s the only fish in the qt tank so I can rule out it getting harassed

Nice Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis!

So the store emailed me back and said they had it eating pellets and flakes, just tried the pellets and it ate those. How would I get her (I beleive it’s a female) to eat mysis before going into the dt?

Maybe the reverse of how we get them eating pellets. Feed both at same time and she might try the mysis as she is feeding.

That's great that she ate the pellets. Get her eating regularly with the pellets first. Once she's eating like normal without any further issues then start mixing the mysis in with the pellets.

Ok awesome thank you both! I will try that out, if it doesn’t decide to eat mysis it won’t be that bad because I feed pellets twice a day and mysis once in my dt plus it has lots of pods. Thanks again!

 

[AZReef13]

I'll eventually get one. Someday........

Hope so one of my favorite wrasses

 

[Tcook]

I’ve had great luck with the Reef Nutrition ROE. Everything in the tank eats them, and it’s worked well with finicky wrasses.

I got a new pink streaked that needs a little TLC, and the eggs got her eating in less than 24 hours.

Looks like that scoly is getting in their way. You can send it to me.

Yea sorry made an oopsie there, thought you were talking about the rhomboidalis so I sent the reply then realized you were talking about the Magma then forgot to reply again. Among the Reef had them I believe but the company no longer exists and is now joined partners with another, forgot the name though sorry

 

[Cichlid Dad]

What is your opinion on luner wrasse? Do they change personally with age?

Dr Reefs says they are easily acquired and often in stock. Don’t know if this is accurate, but here is their link.

Generally magmas are harder to get hold of than most wrasses but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were easier to get than other rare wrasses like Xenojulis margaritaceus or Cirrhilabrus johnsoni.

Cirrhilabrus shutmani is still high on the list, I think if I have to trade in my Jade I’ll do a 1 for 2 wrasse as that guy is essentially twice the size of most other wrasses now.
