Hey all!
I am new to the hobby, and was planning on getting one velvet fairy wrasse to accompany a future McCosker's flasher wrasse. Here is my planned stocklist so far. Still in the planning stages. I would like some advice on caring for these beauties! Things to discuss would be feeding, QT process, compatible tank mates, and general care. I have read intermediate for their care level, but I don't know if I trust seller ratings as they are off on freshwater all the time. Not sure how they are with saltwater yet.

2 True Percs
1 Velvet Fairy Wrasse & McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
1 Tribal Blenny added with 1 Randall's Goby
1 Royal Gramma
1 Blue Eye Tang
1 Yellow Tang

This is my list, in order of planned introduction. My tank specs are in my sig. Thanks in advance!
 
Here is the scientific name. Ctenochaetus binotatus. It is a variety of bristletooth tang, looks similar to the yellow eye kole, but has blue around the eye(duh! lol) and the tail is all yellow.
 
Yes the hermits are hungry, but I also found out that I have two crown conchs which ate a new snail today! Both hermits and conchs are now in the fuge until this weekend for trade in at the lfs.
