Looking for Coral safe colourful Wrasse

[arash53]

cool let me know when you caught it!

I am not aware of any wrasses that aren't coral safe however many will eat your snails & hermit crabs especially once they reach maturity.

I only have some really big snails and an urchin, and not worried about the snails.as far as do not touch my corals and BTAs I am good.

the only problem is my light is 3" above my tank ans I have to figure out how to cover the sides and the front!

Go to Home Depot and pick up some DIY Window Screening, ask someone for help there and they'll point out exactly what you need and where to find it.

The other alternative is BRS.

For the love of @sses, I mean Wrasses, it's worth it.

You should have J&L try to find you a Male Yellow Coris. I bought my pair from them about a month or two ago. Female looks exactly like yours, but the Male is sexy. Psychedelic reddish lines like the Mystery on its head, bit of reddish tinge on it fins.

He did ask for some coral safe COLOURFUL Wrasses..... I never said they were going to be cheap. Haha!

Although the Flame pair is picked up was an absolute SCORE!!! It made up for the vanishing Laboutei's we both picked up.

I have but one Wrasse to get to complete my addiction, I mean collection. The elusive Golden Rhomboid Wrasse, too bad I don't live in the US, as they are quite readily available there.

Thank you , I checked Home Depot last weekend but I couldn't find anything I asked someone but I guess I asked wrong person, I have to ask for Window Screening stuff.

I thought the Yellow Coris are change sex like clown fish they all born as female and the dominant one change sex to male. if this is right if I couldn't find a male I could just pickup a bigger or smaller female , right?

Just get a screen cover for your tank, lowes in new west sells th window frames for about $18 bucks then you need some mesh, was at Jl yesterday and saw a few nice fairy wrasses, golden head and a few others....

Get a screen cover first tho or a glass lid, text me if you need help building one....

Nothing like waking up to a $60 wrasse on the floor dried up like fried banana!

Thanks Chris, I'll check home depot to see what could I get.

Get a glass top, minimum loss of light penetration and best of all, will vastly reduce the massive evaporation that you will soon get going into the summer months. If you're running an open sump, I wouldn't worry about gas exchange

[arash53]

I don't have sump at all! where could I get glass? will home depot cut for me?
