Lovin' my Juvenile Loepard Wrasse

[Luckyduck]

Just had to show off the newest member of my reef! I picked up a juvenile Leopard Wrasse this past weekend. Absolutely love this fish. I've always loved wrasses and have been seeing a fair amount of Leopards recently when out cleaning customers tanks as I work at my LFS. We got 3 in last week and I waited to make sure they were healthy and eating to take one home. He's loving the Reef and spending his days picking for flat worms and tasty bits on the rocks. Good thing I got a hammer frag this past week that had a bunch of flat worms on it. I dipped it but still lots made it into my tank. Rather I should say good thing I got the wrasse! Bye bye flat worms!

Not sure if everyone will be able to see the video, some will some wont. Sorry!

It's a blue star leopard wrasse, my favorite. I used to have a pair, but sine going for bare bottom tank, I ended up selling them to a buddy of mine. Great fish to have in a reef tank and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing

Congratulations on your first leopard. She is adorable. Enjoy watching her change male and the color. Watching the transition and them going to bed are my favorite thing about them

awesome fish. I have had one for 2yrs and just got a new baby for new tank. He's barely a inch and half but is still the most outgoing in a large tank full of tangs

Yes that's right I forgot they start female and turn male!

Awesome! I've gotta upgrade tanks soon. Got her in a 20 cube with 3 tank mates. Gonna outgrow the cube quick.

Yes Blue star! We had a black in at the shop but she didn't make it. The Blues are my favorite too. So fun watching her hunt on the Reef all day!
