Mean Sixline Wrasse

[AyoItsRocco]

So update....

I lost the mean Six-Line while on vacation cus he jumped out of the tank unfortunately, but since then I haven't seen the Leopard at all, he hasn't seem to Jumped out either while inspecting the area but he also hasn't come out of the sand bed (that I can tell) since prolly april 1st or 2nd.... give or take a few days. Could she have died under the sand or is it one of those scenarios where she just isn't ready to come out?

Wrasses don’t usually die in the sand, they tend to come out to die.
You may find the six line has beaten her up to the point of no return and your CUC already got to her body.

Sounds like you need a lid on the tank as well. Will come in handy down the road. Good luck

My six line jumped out of the tank. I've now added a tight fitting mesh lid (so he can't get back in).

About how I felt when I saw him. Bitter sweet moment finding him.

So update again

My leapord Wrasse is still alive! She seems to stay buried all the time though. I guess she's eating but strange that she only comes out very rarely. She has her tail sticking out of the sand, but is indeed moving. Is this normal?

I was actually reading some of the traps people have made to get there wrasses out, some are pretty creative. I may try that becuase my blenny hides under my base rock and thats my boy, dont wanna scare him off

One of the traps that look like a bubble with the mirror, those make it super easy to catch a six line. Mine stayed in it constantly fighting it's reflection.
