It's crazy. I was feeding an entire 6oz flat pack of frozen food every month and it was still so clean it would kill sps in 2 weeks.
I was just flashed for the first time

That is crazy. Were your phosphates good too?

Everything was going pretty good in my tank until I overdosed nitrates. Right now I'm dealing with an algae bloom, but hopefully I can keep it under control and get things leveled out. I'm glad things are going well in your tank since the crash and I hope that never happens again!!!

I have personally never witnessed any of my flasher wrasses flash. I've owned some for probably a total of 5 years, although currently i do not.

So I'm guessing this isn't something that will happen regularly?

If having nitrate can be achieved by a more natal l natural way I would go that route. Such as reducing skimming or adding another fish or 3. If I can avoid adding any chemical to my tank I will.

It depends on the fish and the situation. The fact that it flashed once is a good sign.
With other wrasse allegedly it increases your chances. I've just not been so lucky my friend!
What are his tankmates?

That's why I put a bunch of flashers in there. So far a clown pair, firefish, blue flasher, filamented flasher, royal flasher and a flame wrasse. He's got me a bit concerned at the moment because he's scratching on the rocks now. That's never a good sign....

Jealous.
I owned one for 5 years, never saw it flash once. My friend said he saw it do it once when i was in the other room. Still not sure if he was lying, or if i was just so jealous and in denial.
