Haha that didn’t take long

May still hide some but that’s a good start. A weak leopard when put in a tank won’t bury. Burying is a good thing

Some nights I'm weak and just flop down on top of the covers.

Don't we all? I'm usually like "when I get these kids to sleep, I'm going to get so much stuff done." And when they're finally down, it's "I just need 5 minutes"...

Poor guy looks pretty beat up. In with a 6 line that's bigger than him.

I was going to say he looks alright but then saw his bitten up tail…

The other markings on the body don’t look too bad though :)

Pretty wrasse. Get rid of that 6 line. Only good for frag tanks and sumps.

is there a wrasse hater group ? Sorry for being contrarian I love them , their color , presence etc but i am having trouble with their agression - A red corys wrasse , naoko wrasse - both responsible for murdering few of my priced possessions even with comfortable environments. Any expert tips to keep it calm ?

Sorry for your losses. Both the red coris and naoko can have aggressive behavior. What are they killing, other wrasses?

Nope they did not discriminate , anything and everything - Finally Naoko / Red corys both landed on the same refugium and finally only Red Corys survived,

Only thing standing strong is tomato clown with fiesty personality.

However still love. my lineatus and she has been very very peaceful.

Look who ended up arriving alive and well! Terrible first pic with glare on the glass, but it’s the best I could get for now. First time I’ve seen a transitional male in person - I’m stoked!
