    I got a new Xmas wrasse today. I really like his color and it didn't break my pocket book. Any special tips for this guy?

    Well, I woke up to not see my wrasse in the tank??? I heard they bury themselves in the sand, so I'm hoping he is in there somewhere. My lights aren't on yet, so I'll have to check later. Nothing on the ground so I don't see a jumper :)

    Ok, this dude is a hider I think. I saw him a little yesterday but none since. He's only been in the tank about 5 days so maybe he's getting adjusted, but I sure would like to see him more, you know?

    I think I read that Christmas wrasses can be very shy at first. So he is just adjusting. He will be out soon!!

    So what about eating? I don't even see him often when I feed the other fish. I want to make sure he doesn't starve, you know?
