Well that's amazing

I really thought my new Carpenter's Flasher wrasse was a goner. The color was good, but, it kept laying on its side all during acclimation(which took FOREVER to equalize the salinity)

When I finally was able to put him in the tank, it laid on the sand, wedged under a rock gasping. I thought it had finally died as it was sorta swaying in the current and didn't look like it was breathing. I had to go get the kids, so, I figured it would be dead, or not when I got home

I didn't see it when I got home, so I figured it was gone

Today, it was out swimming around and ate like a pig. My lubbocks wrasse is doing really well and eating(though still hiding most of the time) but the Scott's fairy wrasse has gone missing. He was the first out in the open and I have searched all around the tank for him(including behind it) and can't find him

I am going to give it a few more days and see if it comes out.

Wrasses seem weird.

Some wrasses play dead... My sixline formed one of those mucos cacoon deals... If you read some of the literature on some different shipping companies about wrasses, they'll warn you of this phenomenon...

P.S.~ Did you get my check??? My wrasse loved those shrimp... lol

OH NO! I got your check and sorry for the strange pickup. I just knew I wouldnt' be around. That was one crazy day!

One shrimp arrived DOA and I found another dead at the bottom of the tank. Cute little buggers though

That flasher wrasse is the boldest of them all. The lubbocks hides and peeks at me. I think the Scott's is just gone. I even checked on top of my lights for fish fried wrasse and nothing. If it died, I would never know. It sure looked good though and was eating well

So, the wrasses are weird statement seems like a very true one

Ashley doesn't like the way they move... I think its the way they glide around without wiggling or anything...

You might check your overflow if you have one. My Scott's ended up in mine every couple of months. There is a good chance he/she is just hiding as well.
