    yours looks very pretty and looks like twice the size of mine.

    i just fed, he didnt come out, i think he's to terrorized from being picked on, but at least i know he does eat and i will try again with tomorrows feeding, its so cute though how he found a home by the brain, although he tried to go in the sand and would hit it with his head but not go down :/ and thats the whole reason why i have such a deep sand bad is for wrasses

    thanks, i really like him very shy though so i hope in time he will become active once the others stop picking on him as he adds a ton of color and movement

    mines about an inch and half long. they take a day or 2 to get feelin comfortable. not sure the flashers are that much of sand burrowers. mine have never done that , theyve always found holes in rocks to sleep or hide in. im sure yours will get more of that safe feeling as time goes by , and it will be constantly out. they are very good eaters too.

    ohhhh ok, glad to hear they are good eaters and cant wait to have him come out. i now have the moonlights on so everybody is in bed early to give the new wrasse some time to adjust, its weird now that he's under the brain, its making the brain have like a look like its stacking itself hard to explain but ive never seen it like this its weird, i took a picture soo ill have one up soon, it think its just because the wrasse is underneath it
