    Came home last night with a 6-line Wrasse.
    I love him already. This wrasse is the 2nd I had. The one before,
    was half eaten overnight the first day I brought that one home!So I was very pleased to see him this morning.
    Today he is very alert and inquisitive about the whole tank. It surprises me how close he will get to the BTA some time making it draw in a little as he zooms by.
    When I fed the anemones this morning (mysis today) I saw the wrasse gobbled up some left overs.
    I know wrasse have peculiar sleeping habits! Some form cocoons,some bury themselves,and some "lock" themselves into the rock work. Does any body know about what a 6 line does at night? I watched last night but lost him. He was a late sleeper today leading me to fear the worst for a while also.

    He's a sand dweller at night. Glad to hear yours is working out. I love my pair of sixlines, to bad their not at my house any more!! Guess I can always go see them at their new home. Man those buggers can cruz the tank, usually loking for trouble :)
