I have had the Redhead just under two years. It was purchased from Reef Hot Spot which is now defunct. RHS was the only site that I found that had them come in fairly regularly. Mine has done very well (knock on wood). I feed multiple times during the day and I run a cooler tank <76degF. My fish seem to thrive but some of the corals definitely do not like the cooler water.

a lot of sought after wrasses in the marine hobby do not sleep in the sand (I.E. Flasher and Fairy Wrasses) however some species such as leopard wrasses do sleep in the sand. I believe atleast 4 inch minimum sandbed is needed. I love wrasses and wish you well on your endevor

i would steer clear of wrasses unless you want to succumb to the addiction like many of us on here! seriously though it is a hard habit to break, but there is nothing like looking at a wrasse dominated tank, the movement and social interaction is unparalleled in my opinion. I LOVE WRASSES!!!!

chaoti's are awesome wrasses, but sensitive like most leopards. I try to get small ones, as they tend to do better IME. I brought in about 10 2" ones a while back and didn't lose any! even in shipping, which is unusual.

vickey, when they are small they are cute and usually not so bad but when they get larger ,say 2" they quickly find out that they can flip ,move and disrupt corals within the tank and find little critters on the undersides of such objects . then they will find that if they burrow and then quickly come up that there is suspended detrius that the enjoy picking through for food. thats when they become a PITA but yes a beautiful one at that ! good luck with him and enjoy while you can .
many of us have fish only tanks along with reef tanks so if you also have one he certainly can go in the fish only tank later in life .
*this is why we should first research all intended fish and coral purchases before we purchase them ?
