    Just bought a pair of these guys from my lfs and I love this store. I bought the pair got them home and have been dripping them for about a hour. But while I am doing this it looks like maybe another fish as pulled off part of the gill flap (???) but he seems to be doing fine what should I do??? I would post a pic but havent learned how to do that yet

    Do nothing...nature will take course.

    May not be a fully "mated" pair, so there may be some squabbling after you get them in main tank.

    Good Luck.

    Is there a clear difference in size, aka sexual dimorphism ?! :confused:

    welcome again to the 3reef,
    they could be a mated pair its hard to say , the injury could have come from when they were caught at the lfs did you examen them well beforhand. I once purchased a 6line wrass god bless his little heart, and did not look at him in the tank or bag very well. I brought him home after that day I never except a fish or coral until I have inspected it again in the bag . as my fish was dammaged and did not last,

    but this is not always the case good luck with your nemos
