My super shy x large Scott's fairy wrasse AKA where's waldo thread...

look right above the green BN colony, and you will see an eye. That's him after nearly a week in the tank.


For a big guy, it sure is shy.

I have no clue if it has eaten yet. I have not seen it eat yet during feedings.

It has another week of LA guarantee, so hopefully it starts swimming around and eating the food I feed it. I can say it is a lot less shy that it was a week ago, or even a couple days ago. it does swim around the rocks in the caves a little now. Before it would just sit in a cave and hide. It has no marks from fighting, so that is good.

Now my mandarin I got the same day is all over the place. I will post up a pic or 2 of him when I have a chance.

 

ha you can barely even see his eyeball lol!
k+ for pics tho

 

At least he is hiding where you can see. Will turning off your halide help? Just a thought.

 

I noticed that with My aussie's Wrasse. Very shy! Very cool horkn! Awesome Fish for sure.

 

i hope he comes out!

 

fish looks cool from what I can see....but OMG your corals are awesome!

When my friend took down her tank I inherited her large mystery wrasse. For about the first week it was very shy and when it did come out my bellus chased it off. Now he has settled in and is out in the open all the time!

you do have a cover over your tank? they are jumpers!

 

yeah, I made a cage fighting anti carpet surfing fence.

Thanks for the compliments My coral has been growing very well due to my calcium reactor and lights.

 

i agree , your corals are awesome horkn. id really like to see it all the way out , must be quite the sight that beauty. hopefully he becomes unshy for us to enjoy too.

 

So, to have fun with this fish, since it cost me 80 bucks and doesn't swim around (yet) to show off how pretty it is, I am officially making this a "where's Waldo" thread. I don't like to name my fish, but that name may have stuck now, simply due to it's secretive nature.

Of course I will give out K+ to the first that finds him.


Here is the mandarin

 

WOW!!! You have a beautiful tank!!
