Wrasse Aficionados: C. Earlei Care?

[Strategist]

Hi All,

I'm new to these boards and am interested about a pair of these fish. They are going into a 90 gallon SPS reef. Temp is around 75-76 with Radion lighting. I only have 6 fish at the moment - 1 leopard wrasse, 1 melanarus, 1 female hooded fairy and 3 anthias.

I'm curious on how easy it is to care for these fish based on people's experiences.

Are they just like any other fairy wrasse? PIA lists them as Easy but before I take the plunge, would like to get some feed back on diet, temperament, any interesting tips, tank requirements, etc.

Thanks!

Easy. Feed like other similars: nutramar ova, mysis, capelin fish roe.

Thank you Steve. I just pulled the trigger on the pair from PIA. Very excited :bounce1:

Pacific Island Aquatics. Great place for harder to find fish/pairs/trios.

Every time I look at PIA's site, I am tempted to start a f/o. My reeftanks are all open top so no fairies.
