Golden Wrasse is missing

[icereefer]

well I got a golden wrasse (coris) yesterday to add to my propagation tank to have some movement in there.... :lol:
but tonite after my MH went out and just my Actinics were on I looked every where and I couldn't fined him. :cry:
I did notice my sand in my fragging tray is all stired up. so I'm hoping it buired itself in the sand for the night.
tomorrow the egg create goes on. the top of the tank.....lol.

maybe your chaeto ate him :w00t:

[FishinInTheDark]

I bet he's buried. I'll cross my fingers for ya!

Very pretty fish, BTW.

I bet he buried himself. They'll do that when startled or when they're ready to sleep. The LFS has one of those in and I've been watching it for a couple of weeks now. I'll probably pick it up today if it's still there and I can see it eat some flake or pellets.

Ditto's....I hope he didn't hop out...I lost a couple of my wrasses because of there suicidal leaps.... :(

[gman0526]

That's what they do... they bury themselves at nite, nite time.

[icereefer]

yeah: thats what he did. I kind of thought that's what he did but I didn't think it could because the sand bed in my frag box is only about a 1/2" deep. "Crazy" I think I might add a little more in my frag box so he has a little more depth.and set up another frag box with just rubble rock in it for my frags.
crazy fish, it's like I got a cat not a fish...LOL. first fish I got to were I had to have a sand box for it. :lol:

[FishinInTheDark]

Too funny Jim!

[Sugar Magnolia]

Well, the wrasse was still at the LFS when I stopped in today, so it must have been meant for me. I asked them to feed him and he quickly gobbled up the pellets that they offered it. He's acclimating now. :D

Great score SM....You have to post a picture!!!

[FishinInTheDark]

Congrats to you both for your new Goldens!

[icereefer]

Copy kat...........I mean nice score sugar.. :lol:

[Sugar Magnolia]

LOL Jim. I've been stopping in and checking on this guys health for about 4 weeks now trying to decide whether I should buy him. Beautiful fish!

Great score SM....You have to post a picture!!!

I would, but I had turned the MH off to reduce stress, and once he hit the open water, he cruised to the bottom and promptly dove into the sand bed.

[icereefer]

LOL....Yeah so far I really like mine. hope yours adds a nice addition to the rest of your tank. I really didn't want to add mine to my 37 gal because there love for bristle worms. but I like that I had some flatworms on one piece of my zoo colonies and it has been picking at them. :thumbsup:

And this is the lady complaining about her YWG moving sand around. :razz: JK, great fish to have. very interesting when they're "awake".

[Sugar Magnolia]

He's out and about exploring his new home. Very active fish!

[Doctor_Reef]

Ok, Ok...time to get that picture for us!!! :)

[FishinInTheDark]

Mmm Hmm. Better come up with a pic there Sister!

[Doctor_Reef]

Here Here!!!!! Give it to her Conni!!!! :)

[Sugar Magnolia]

I spoke too soon, not long after he was out and about, I wandered over to the tank to watch him and I must have spooked it because it dove back into the sand. Pretty cool to watch! I'll see if I can get a shot of him tomorrow.

[Doctor_Reef]

:(.... OK! We will wait patiently!!! :)

[DKWICK]

I was thinking of adding one to my tank but I am worried it would eat the clowns. What do you have in with yours and do you have some thoughts on it being with clowns?

[Doctor_Reef]

I don't think it will bother the clowns....

[icereefer]

Ditto: they are very shy critters

[TranZ]

i have one with two clown percs in my 65gal. its very active. it spends all day looking for food. The purple pseudochromis on the other hand keep chasing it.
