Thanks.

It is a beautiful fish. My crappy cell phone pics don't do it justice.

This one came from the Maldives.

My leopard wrasse has been hiding in the sand for two days since adding her Friday evening. This isn't unusual correct?

Perfectly normal. Whatever you do, don't go digging around for her.

Thought that it was normal. My potters wrasse never hid longer than overnight in the sand. Just wanted to make sure she was ok. I better prepare myself not to see her for awhile lol

I got a nice young peacock wrasse today, I was naughty as I did not QT her as I read mixed opinions on how they do in qt. I purchased her from my lfs who qts his fish before putting them in the general population tanks, I know it's not ideal and I can't trust it but she had been in his qt for two weeks with copper and was due to go in the normal tanks tomorrow, all the other fish in the qt looked healthy so I took a risk. I've added some prazi pro, I acclimated her to my dt and she swam around for a bit ate, some food and just now went into the sand. My adorned wrasse completely ignored her and paid no attention at all. I also picked up a small chrysus wrasse who seems happy in my QT and did not hide at all, as if she never was even caught and put in a new tank.

Mine is for the most part. Just have a tomini tang that can be a little scary to a new mate. Others like my clown pair, 2 fire fish, Midas blenny, mandarin could careless lol

I'm praying she does well. I even thought about re homing my tang so I could get a trio of blue stars! Friend of mine has a trio and they school together. It's sweet.

Would this work:
Crescent Tail Fairy Wrasse
Hooded Fairy Wrasse
Naoko's Fairy Wrasse
Eightline Flasher Wrasse

I currently have the crescent tail and the hooded in the tank and they're doing well

Those should all be fine together.
