LFS here in Orlando, they have a few more. Top shelf aquatics
If you can get them eating they can be very hardy. I've had mine a number of years and it eats anything I put in the tank. Frozen blood worms were what got mine started eating in QT.

This fish is on my wish list, beautiful. Did you skip the QT?
I did not. My Potter's was in QT for about 10 weeks as I wanted it fat and comfortable with captivity before going in a tank with a bunch of other boisterous wrasses.

Great looking fish. My son has a laboute in his RS 525XL and a female divided leopard in QT. I bought my radions and accessories from Top Shelf at MACNA last year in NO. Will have to check them out for fish.

I just checked Top Shelf website and they don’t list fish, must be local sales only.

You got some lookers in that tank! Glad your Potters is doing great, love my little Blue star, hope to get more leopards if I can swing the large tank in a year or so.I did not.

It’s always best not to keep wrasses in pairs it usually does not end well as they mature

^However, leopards can work in harems better than other wrasses.

Right; the best chance of it actually working are with this genus.
I have never had any issues with leopards of the same sex. I had 8 or 9 of them at once in a 240g. They are incredibly easy going, IMO.

Should be fine. Although I am not sure what species you mean by green leopard.

Glad this thread was started. We have a leopard wrasse we got about a week and half ago. I thought he was dead the first week, then at the end he made an appearance. He hasn’t eaten yet and seems almost, um, blind. He comes out for about two or three hours a day, then goes back under sand. I just added pods today from Algae Barn, love them. He doesn’t seem to even care about the rock at all. Just swims around the edge of the tank. When the obnoxious clowns tried to bully him, he didn’t seem to see it coming or care about when it happened. The aggression has calmed, but I’m still worried he’s not interested in eating at all. Any words of wisdom about these amazingly beautiful fish. All my other wrasse ate frozen immediately, so I’m stumped.
