Suezichthys, what do we know about them?

[Jacob D]

I don't think I had come across these wrasses until I saw the recent one on DD. They have it listed as Suezichthys arGuatus but I believe that may be a typo and the fish is actually Suezichthys arQuatus. There isn't much info available on them from an aquarists standpoint. DD has them listed as expert only which they don't tag on too many fish. Anybody here know much about the care requirements of these fish?

these are mainly australian wrasses that live in cool water. so a cool temp must be offered.

not much is known about captive requirements because it's so rare and almost never collected.

I didn't even notice the cool water requirement listed there... I do not like that new format they're using! Maybe I just need to get used to it but now I have to look 2 places to get all the info (stats and price). Kevin, bring the old format back please

I thought about buying that fish. I run my tank on the cool side but my summer temps are one or two degrees above that range which probably wouldn't be ideal.
