    So last night I decided to take a big ugly rock out of my tank and rearrange my lr so I could work in some more corals eventually. In the process I couldn't find the Wrasse. I didn't worry right away because I figured he was hiding. About 12pm when I couldn't sleep, 4 hours after I had moved the rocks I went looking for the Wrasse.
    I had trapped him under one of the large LR chunks on the ground. I thought he was dead for sure. He barely moved and was all white.
    This morning however he is up and about and swimming like crazy!!!! They really are great fish!!::)

    Any fish that isn't mean that lives through an attempt on it's life is a keeper for sure!

    Looks like a mccosker's flasher to me:)

    Your right it is a McCosker's, he is very pretty and likes to flash around the tank showing off.
