Marshall's 125 - Wrasses and Corals

Finally an update. He is now in the 125, in my acclimation box. He was flashing quite a bit for a while, so I was able to snag some decent shots:

 

Double post!

 

Really beautiful Marshall. So nice you have to post twice. Looks like you've got a healthy one this time. We need a saying for fish introduction, you know like break a leg for theater.

 

Hah, whoops! I only hit reply once, but it took a while so must have decided my post was so awesome, it should be shown twice

And yes, definitely a healthy one this time. Just about 4 weeks in my QT, but really did not need it. That's Divers Den for you though

 

very, very pretty Marshall! I've really not found wrasses to be one of my favorite saltwater fish but I've learned on this forum how truly awesome they are. That is a gorgeous fish! So glad to hear it's healthy!

 

I take it your tank is covered? Beautiful fish. I always want to try a wrasse but I don't want to cover my rimless.

 

I'm certain it's covered. It's a requirement for keeping wrasses, unless you find them disposable.

 

Thanks OFK! I suggest you don't get any then; as once you get one, you will be hooked

Yup, as Hunter said, tank is 100% covered (as are all of my tanks). I have already had one (Lubbock's) jump out of my 55 (back when it was setup) when I was just feeding the tank. Jumped 4' into my living room! Obviously I was right there so I scooped him up and back into the tank (none the worse for wear it seems). And I can tell you my Labout's hits the mesh top almost every night. My lights are speckled from salt residue from the splashes...

 

Awesome looking fish. I'm assuming that is a wild caught fish also?- That question was referring to the 'bred' clowns that are now all kinds of colors, etc.
