I've had a melanarus in a bare bottom tank for 2+ years now. Used to sleep in the sand but he has his favorite crevise now.

Always looking for bugs and not too expensive. One of the better AEFW wrasses.

Love that wrasse. And yes, a very very hard worker. Constantly picking things off rocks and corals (not polyps though). Mine hunts with my leopard wrasse. However, I would consider both the Melanurus and leopard wrasse beauty queens :-)

I did find the melonarous a little more agressive toward other wrasses but in frag tank it'll be fine

ya, my Mellonorous wrasse doesn't much like my Hawaiian flame wrasse but is fine with my leopard tagging along with him.
