Introducing a leopard wrasse...

[benjc]

Tomorrow I'll be moving a leopard wrasse from qt into my tank. My current plan is to make the move in the early morning before the lights come on. Should I use an acclimation box or just trust the fish to dive into the sand if it gets too stressed or harassed. Fish that are potential concerns in the tank are a melanurus wrasse, yellow tang, like tang, and an egg-laying false perc.

I introduced a small Kuiteri wrasse with my large male melanurus and had absolutely no problem. I would put him in an acclimation box for the day or at least a few hours prior to lights out and release him an hour or 30 minutes before lights out.
