FS Seagrass Wrasse (Novaculichthys Macrolepidotus)

He does eat the Zoa eating nudibranch. However he also likes to pull all my frags off my frag rack and drop them on my brain coral. Thus far he has not bothered any of my crustaceans, but he goes to town on feather dusters.

This fish is known to eat the Zoa eating nudibranch.

I am asking $20 for the fish, but I might consider a trade for something unusual.

Raymond, lilleahseafreak,

I am not sure about fish comptatibility, but it seems very docile toward the other fish in my tank.

It is a very inquisitive fish looking under rocks for food. This one is taking frozen foods with gusto. I would be nervous with it around smaller shrimp as it grows. I have only had the fish for a few weeks, so I am not an expert on how it will be long term in the reef tank.

I'll take it. Been looking for one. Cash or trade is fine.

If you've only had it for a couple weeks, why, if I might ask, are you getting rid of it?? (messin' with frags??)

Read up on the thread that John provided. This species has been hashed over on RC for a while now (I could have sworn I read other threads referring to these fish). Trouble is that they are/were not commonly collected, but that looks like it is possibly starting to change ?
