    I just got this little guy a couple of days ago. He is doing great. I know that they can be very hard to keep, but he was eating at the LFS the next day that they received him, is eating well already in my tank, and stays out in the open A LOT!
    Got very lucky to find him...the guy who bagged him for me told me if he knew it was there it would have been gone! I was lucky, got there in morning and they got the shipment at night!
    I placed cheato in the actual tank, and have a ton in the refuge, plus I only have 3 other fish right now, so he should be able to settle in well! (I hope)

    Another cool florescent blue "marked fish," much like my Coris Wrasse and Jewel Damsel- must be to make them hard to see when in water...:confused:

    I Love Leopard Wrasses. Just have to get my arc eye hawk fish out before I get another. These are two I've had in the past
