Timor Wrasse

[Corey Baker]

Recently purchases what was told was an orange spotted leopard wrasse.... clearly wasn't and i knew it... but i liked it still. From what i can find its a Timor Wrasse. Anyone know much about these? I will post a picture once i get home.

It is a very timid fish but loves to scarf down food. Its eating anything that hits the water. likes to hide in all the rock work.

current take mates include:
Harlequin Sweetlips
Mystery wrasse
Lined Tamarin
Picasso Clown
Pigmy Waspfish
Male, Female Lyretail
Borbonius Anthias
Starry Blenny
Sailfin Tang
Flame Hawk
Large Coral Banded Shrimp
2 medium Conch

Timor wrasses are apeaceful, small Halichoeres species.

As the mystery wrasse grows, so will its aggression toward the other wrasses.

Thanks Eat! The MW is the smallest fish in the tank, but definitely one of the biggest attitudes

I just saw two of these at my LFS this past week. Had never seen them before and was unsure of what they were. Very attractive fish, may have to go back for one...

Spartan, Yah! same here. I like the fish that tend to have interesting patterns or markings. These Timor really shimmer with the grey silver, but those orange and blues really pop. super active fish and is all over the tank just exploring.
