![]() Just use a small deli container filled with fine coral sand. Halichoeres Wrasses feel more secure when they can bury themselves.
They do take a bit to get over jet lag and adapt to the new time zone. It usually takes them a week or so. Once adapted you can set your watch by them popping out of the sand. ;-) Cheers, Tim

![]() Also much easier to move to your display when quarantine is over as long as you keep both with the same parameters. Pop or hold a lid on the container after your wrasse has gone to bed, move to the display and they wake up in their new home. I did this with my leopard wrasse and I think it was a lot less stressful than trying to net them.

![]() You would want the sand in the container to be at least 2 inches deep and the width of the container would depend on the size of the wrasse. Mine was about twice her length. If the quarantine has done it's job you should not be transferring parasites; however, the caution about copper is true. i never use copper so did not think of that but you should not have sand in a quarantine tank if you are treating with copper.
