When smaller I could see it, but he was pretty stout. His body was way wider than the little 0.5" squares. Darn wrasses, they just keep finding a way to jump. Such a shame.

Mine just disappeared after 3.5 years and no sign of it anywhere. It was one of my faves.

I added one to our large coral display and it's been a model citizen so far. No signs of looking to jump but as it is an open top tank I have my fingers crossed. People love this fish.

The Yellow Wrasse is one of the most effective controls for acro worms, however they are jumpers. I have bought 2 or 3 over the years and all have jumped with 6 to 9 months. On the bright side they certainly cleaned up any acro worms while they were in the tank.
