    lol, thx vinny, I'm hoping he's alright, still not finding a ton of info on them.

    But he was eating pellet and flake, so I'm hoping he'll be ok!?

    I'm late to the party again...


    $110 is fair; $230 is too high now-a-days.

    Recently described in 2009, and it's named after Hiroyuki Tanaka's wife.

    They can be a bit aggressive, but generally not to a problematic point (but some have been reported as such). I think you'll be alright, but any future wrasses you'll want to introduce with an acclimation box after this addition. If you have one you can use now, do so with this guy.

    Thx, yeah, I've read they can be on the aggressive side, but I think he's small enough, and the other guys have there holes, so I'm hoping it works out. I have 1 whole side of the tank that needs a inhabitant, so hopedfully he'll make that home.
