Wrasse Resort

Agree but also seems to depend on how hungry they are. Mine don’t like the taste and will only bite them in half of hungry. I think bristle worms live if cut in two pieces

My mel and biocellatus would pluck small ones if they saw them, but my wrasses much prefer brittle starfish legs :squinting-face-with-tongue:

Even my kuiter's will rip a leg off if she sees it sticking out from under a rock. She's pretty tough on my CUC. Between her and my earmuff all of my small emerald crabs are gone.

Boy do they love them some brittle stars!
My old Mele male would hunt them constantly including flipping a disk and grabbing them.

Hi! No the brunneus fairy wrasse won't eat bristle worms or pyramid snails. None of the fairy wrasses will.
Melanurus wrasses and marginatus wrasses (aka dusky) could eat pyramid snails and small bristle worms, but larger bristle worms will likely be ignored.

Will the leopard wrasse, 6 line, or pink streaked families eat smaller inverts like these?

All of these wrasses are capable of eating pyramid snails and small bristle worms. The 6 line being the most likely, but if you have other wrasses or small docile fish I don't recommend getting one.

Nice! When did you get a moyer’s? Now I’m lost

Moyers just came out of wrasse QT with the Freedoms. It was quite camera shy there and kept very strange sand hours. Into the DT before lights on yesterday and was out and about most of the day looking Regal!

For the record, it's still amazes me that you can look at all of these wrasse that have others that look very similar and just know what they are!

Knock knock

I'm back! I'll be traveling quite a bit over the next 2 months :( Can't do too much with the tank because of it.

 

[SaltyT]

Nothing new with the tank. BA is about 70% gone, making progress :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Snapped a few fish pics

Great photos. I am thinking the black leopard is hard to photo being black. Your leopards have fat belly’s and nothing makes me happier
I almost got a earmuff from Joel over the weekend. I love their face

Is the bottom the earmuff? Google images don't show that huge head to body difference.

Correct. Beautiful fish and salty is a gem

Yep, that's my big boy. Isn't he purty? His colors keep getting better the older he gets.
