So we went away for 2 days to visit my family, drove back through, stopped in and fed then drove to the beach to visit my partners parents and just got home. I noticed that she had a bit of black on the tail Friday and what a transition when we got back today. Pardon the crap pic. He/she is a real pain to photograph. Runs to beg at the glass any time you're around but doesn't sit still ever.

Terminal phase huh?

Not yet.

Not terminal, but a heck of a change since this time last week when she was all orange with no black. Never said anything about being terminal.

Looks to be C. rubripinnis, but a better pic would help.

Should copepods be included in all the wrasse's diet?

Most commonly kept wrasses will eat them, Macropharyngodon, Pseudojuloides, and Anampses, seem to rely on a steady supply, but other foods can supply all of the nutritional needs.
