Wrasse?

I bought me a new addition 3 days ago its a leopard peacock wrasse, its doing great in the tank so far, question is, is this fish nocturnal i see him in the morning when the lights are off and then around a hour when i have turned them on and then he disappears totally now where to be seen for the rest of the day untill the morning again, very strange...

Cheers

 

The Leopard Wrasses have a variety of curious behaviors. They are on Indo-Pacific time, so don’t freak if their sleeping habits are a little odd at first. Also as a protection in their natural habitat, they perform a little dance that is really strange to a possible predator. Often this dance antic works to the point the predator basically thinks the fish is nuts and moves on. If that tactic doesn’t work then the local sandbar will provide a perfect place for escape, and a puff of sand is the only indication the wrasse is “down under”.

i hope you qted it, because animal-world also says 80% of those wrasses arrive with intestinal worms.

so that might be something to look into.

 

no quarintine tank, so no but thanks for the heads up,
