It's not a product line I'm interested in using. But the day after the wrasse died, I added other fish which have done fine, so the suspicion I had that the tank wasn't ready wasn't founded. Leopard wrasses are just more delicate than I had thought. Of three black ones, 2 died here a few weeks apart, the third in a 5yr+ tank at the LFS also died, so I'm confident that it's not a tank/water quality issue. My tank also housed SPS shortly after the wrasse and it's all doing fine, polyps out, encrusting, etc.
My mistake was over estimating their toughness. I think.
