    So. I go to the tank. My wrasse is swimming around. With something in it's mouth. I look closer. It looks like a bristleworm. But now I know better. I have found an incompatability. The Red Coris Wrasse and Tube Worms. Used to have three. Now it's zero. Here are some pics.

    Bad wrasse!!!! Bad, bad wrasse!!!!!!

    Then it let it go...........

    Then it picked it up again and tried to swallow it whole once more. I have lost sight of it now. It is probably on the sea bed stinking up the tank. So. Word of warning. TW + RCW = Dinner.

    Flasher and Fairy Wrasses make the best reef safe fish that normally leave sessile and delicate inverts alone.
    Nice Wrasse however!
