[deuceb]

bought friday, due they generally hide worried looked good at jays hasnt moved since put in tank water was tested by jay o ok phosphate bup very very little

 

[wrassefan]

most wrasses will bury themselves for awhile 'til they adjust to the tank....if healthy..it should be around once it is hungry

I had a wrasse that I didn't see for 10 days after I put him in the tank and figured that he was dead but one day he just appeared. Give it time.

No worries at this point, they need time to get used to the new surrounding...

[fmfox]

not to steal the thread or anything....

...but I just got a lunar wrasse. it's doing fine, in with a tang, a couple of clowns and a goby in a 55g long. my question: can i never get cleaner shrimp now? will he just eat them immediately? and are my hermit crabs going to be safe?

thanks,

martin

risky

lunars get large if im correct is a 55 large enough ? they mostlikely will eat those items but might leave corals alone look into getting a fairy wrasse of somesort
