    I just bought it, too good of a deal to pass up, and I am overrun with pods and bristleworms, so yeah, I was just curious if it was a cleaner wrasse as well. It was $12, kinda hard to pass up.

    Its going to go in my new 40g set up I just got eventually.

    Mine has been in about a month and a half now. My Bi color Seudochromis backed him in a corner for about 4 days but they seem to get along now. He is always picking at the rock, cool fish to watch.

    This lil guy is like 1.5"s long, and I dont have anything too agressive to give him any problems, though he is the smallest fish in there.

    Keep an eye on his belly, it will tell you if he is ridding your tank of creatures. My six line and LM blenny is the fatest fish in the tank. LM sits on his belly instead of his fins when he stops swimming....;D

    hahahahahaha

    EVERY rock I pick up is covered with bristle worms underneath it, so it should be a happy camper considering I am literally over run with amphipods and copepods and I think I have isopods too unfortunetly. The amphipods are harrassing all of my zoanthids. I have nothing that eats them anymore, so that is probally why.

    Get a Manadrin to help. I have always wanted one but I am giving my tank about 6 months to run with the fuge in action to make sure this is enough to eat.
