I'm sure a few would disagree with me, but a mesh top IMO is only required if you are going to stock wrasses that aren't sandbed dwellers.

From my experience and conversations with others, wrasses that burrow in the sand bed aren't AS prone to jumping when spooked, rather they will dive for the sand bed. Like I said, this is just my experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

Strange.. neither of those fish are wrasses, nor sand dwellers. Which is all I was referring too..

Referencing 2 fish that almost no one would ever expect to jump is a bit un-fair.

You're right, there are a lot of fish that people never expect to jump and neither of those were wrasses.

Loving the new camera! cant wait to play around with the macro lens that i ordered. I also am going to borrow our top down viewer from work to try and snap a few photos of the coral that doesn't photograph well from the front.

I have had this garf bonsai for two years, I bought it as a small frag from oceanic corals and it receded down to a skin flap, finally starting to grow


yellow tipped red dragon still settling in.
