I have an acclimation method I think works really well but I used theirs and I shouldn't have. I would have added the ammonia reducer to the bag then floated the bag in the sump while dripping from the DT. Moving it from bag to bucket, back to bag was completely unnecessary and too traumatic IMO. Though my incompetence at pouring from the bucket to the bag is only my fault.

Bag to bucket then to bag sounds strange. I would stick with your method.

I would get the female over the male. It is one of the prettier "orange" female cirrhilabrus wrasses.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet. But first place I’ve actually seen these in stock…. If you’re willing to pay the price tag.

So thoughts on adding a pair of hooded fairs instead of just one? Was just a reef pro saw a pair there... Not sure how the would affect the current wrasses?

A ‘pair’ will eventually wind up as two males anyway. I personally find it’s not worth the risk with pairs.

I would love to see a mature male again, that was the gold mine of the Leucoxanthus. I think my next wrasse will be a Leucoxanthus again, they’re just so nice and when the light hits right that white has a tiny of pink/purple.

Think there would be “rumble in the jungle “ adding this to a chrysus?
