melanurus wrasse

[Starry]

Still having to talk the wife out of a mystery wrasse after she seen yours Doug. lol. fuigred it was a good excuse to get a pretty, low cost wrasse. from what ive read they are good to great at eating any small morsels that move. if i have to loose my nem shrimp, so be it.
