@fishface NJ if you go, let me know! Would love to pop in and say hi!
have you checked out @tsmaquatics new location yet?
Won’t be going to Aquarium Care Center tomorrow. I ordered a Radiant from NY Aquatic. I had order one last month but it died two hours after it arrived. Hopefully this one is okay

Hope you had a fabulous birthday yesterday

If it doesn't make it this time, lemme know.
I moved mine into my 55. Wasn't even being picked on by anyone I would have thought.
Timor was beating him up pretty bad.
Hoping the dusky (also from aquarium center - and coloring up incredibly) doesn't destroy him.

Congrats on finding a Radiant, they are amazing fish... Mine hid for about a week, now out all the time and growing.

Tail spot trying to blend in and act natural :grinning-squinting-face:
Yo wrasses! Chill out!

The blenny is actually the tank's Mr. Social. Gets along with everyone and is constantly zooming around checking on everyone/everything. Stop, perch, check it out, move. Stop, perch, check it out, move. Cracks me up.

Some older photos for a late Wrasse Wednesday!
I need to get more photos of my Marcosi Tile, and all 7 Wrasses in my large tank (I need even more new photos for my nano).

Beautiful orange coloring on your pink streak. He looks plump and happy in that photo!
That was my old boy, my current boy (and girl) have much more vibrant colouring and show they love my feeding.

Pintail is such a scaredy-cat. Target feeding corals is enough to make him hide with Mrs. Rhomboid. Must be something scary in the benereef.

Although he does come out and sit for some photos afterwards.

My H. chrysus has been the same way. As soon as I begin removing the lid to target feed, she's in the sand.

Back when I had sand and leopards, I had one leopard wrasse that would dive bomb into the danged like that. I always worried about her haha.

Maybe they are just spooked because they are small. I kind of wish he would go and hide for real like your chrysus because he pokes his head out and the little glowing and scared eyes make me feel bad!
