    Wrasse only is a great way to keep a tank IMO steve... I am doing wrasse only also, with the small exception of one tang (for coral food) and two clowns (for their hilarious antics) ;)

    Good luck with the wrasse though, its a beauty!

    Thanks tatted4ever

    I agree , there are so many reef safe wrasse species available in the hobby that you can create a great looking display from just them

    I wish you the luck I had with mine. One prob these wrasses can have is they are wormy. I don't know if more research has been done, or if things have changed since then, but a lot were eating and not thriving.

    I lost him while on vacation. Seems they didn't like having their tank topped with water straight from the tap for over 3 weeks. o_O but he was my little chubby friend for 6 years.

    It was one of the few times I have cried due to this hobby.
