dead wrasse

It sure hurt to loose this wrasse, it was a beauty.

The picture does no justice to the colours at all. I'm not sure why but it went on a hunger strike.

As an interesting consolation my 4 year old Yellow coris wrasse that has been MIA for 6 weeks turned up today and is alive.

That is too bad as that is a gorgeous wrasse....but at least now your other one comes out....was that a Royal Pencil Wrasse? It looks like it, and the males are STUNNING fish!

sucks to lose that wrasse. Mine is my favorite fish in my tank, lots of spunk. Did it jump?

Sarah,
Yes I believe that is what it's called.
Mark,
It just stopped eating for some unknown reason.

That totally sucks, he was a real beauty.

They are a stunning fish for sure! My first one was determined to carpet surf, and after about a dozen attempts he succeded. The one I have now is much calmer and seems more content. Maybe because I finally found a female to pair him with? Shes a beauty too, shaped the same way but bright orange with the white belly.

I had one exactly the same however he tried jumping from one tank to another and did not make it. It had magnificent colouring.

I had one for several months but my blue-sided fairy wrasse chased him out of the 210g reef tank. I saved him twice, but the third time he went out the back & it took too long to reach him. It was too bad since he was a beauty, just like yours. I'll only get another if I put glass tops on my tank. Mine ate like a pig & was always cruising around the tank.
