Timor wrasse hiding in QT?

[joec]

She's been hiding in sand for 3 days ever since I placed her in QT. She hasn't eaten

She looked very healthy. I'm assuming I should just let her be and let her come out on her own?

Leave it be.

She's out and about. What a great fish!

Beautiful fish. Glad he came out for you. I'd really like to get one myself. I'm so torn because I have a mating pair of blood red cleaner shrimp and I would be pretty upset if he went after them. But that beautiful wrasse!!!

I was elated to find one at a LFS for $35. They are supposed to be one of the more potentially reef safe, mellow Halichores.

Wow $35 is a steal. I tried to research them at one point to see where they landed since I know there is a lot of variation within Halichoeres in regards to reef safeness (just making up words now). I didn't have much luck though. Seems like they are on the rare side, or at least not often talked about. I'll be interested to read how he works out for you.
