Friendly wrasse!

[brett559]

I haven't been doing this hobby for that long, but I've had quite a few fish, and I have never had a fish that was less scared of my hand than my melanarus wrasse. Maybe it's because he knows my hand usually disturbs the sand which may release things to eat, but that fish will come right up to hand every time. He just stays near the my hand - he will let me know touch him too.

Just thought I'd share. Call it the opposite of some jerk clownfish that I've had.

Ha, that is so weird. My melanurus is one of the first bolt if I stick my hand in the tank or move to quickly in front of it, only beaten by my starry blenny. He runs the tank when it comes to other fishes for sure, but is no fan of mine.
