    Make sure to feed a lot. That's what I've read on various forums (I was interested in the leopard awhile back) and they require a lot of food, and a lot of variation in food.

    Im successful with my first leopard wrasse. At first I put it in the tank and thought it died. I was acting dead on the sand bed. then I saw a sand storm in my tank and had assumed the wrasse was alive hiding in the sandbed.

    Sure enough 2 weeks later the wrasse was swimming about in my tankone say when I got home.

    Today he is very active and eats like a cow. He eats formula one and 2. Mysis, plankton, and rods reef food. I couldnt tell that they are hard to keep with mine.

    Go for it and good luck
