It leaves everybody alone, and minds his own business. The best fish I have ever owned. Wait till they get 4", you will be amazed at their that they get on their face.

Agreed, awesome fish! I have a Yellow & Purple Wrasse and it does the same thing. It's crazy how their eyes move all around to catch anything moving that they may be able to eat.

I have one in my frag tank. They are a nice fish too. My Melanarus does the same thing in my regular tank. Every frag I put in there he inspects it.

Nice one!

It is a cool looking fish, but it's hard to get a still pic of it. It's always cruising around the tank hunting. It's got the same coloration on the face as yours does.
