"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh geez, sir, I'm standing right here!" (Grounds keeper Willy).

My flame super male and female both jumped.

My blue sided also chose to jump during a maintenance.

Next to jump out I'm sure will be a Solan wrasse that bounces off the net at least 2 times a week.




I actually like my large Pink Margin the best because I can pick him up when feeding.


Here's my flame, RIP flamer

Older pic Cy but here you go. He's still doing great. I would have lost him to jumping a hundred times by now though good thing for the screen top.



And this is the latest one of the M meleagris that changed to male. Pic is from last month.

Ive heard these change colors depending on mood, have you noticed that at all?
Um no haven't really noticed that. But I would imagine similar to them changing color based on sex and maturity... then if they were hot to trott on a female he would get vibrant.

He does flash the clownfish and he's fins really show up nice.

My ruby headed fairy wrasse recently jumped. Had him for a couple years. I have eggcrate and a sheet of acrylic over my tank. uploadfromtaptalk1345226788523.jpg
Better days....he's in the upper left, cruising.

i had a flame wrasse supermale and 3 females as his harem...
3 months later the alpha female made the beta female jump, & she dessicated on a top brace,
last week the alpha female started to turn male, so the supermale made him/her jump. But fortunately my 6 year old son saw him/her squirming on the floor and threw him/her into my frag tank. My son wrote on his back to school essay: "the highlight of my summer was saving betamale flame wrasse's life!" (brought tears to my eyes)

now beta is a supermale too, so I bought him a woman (its only fair). I have 2 pairs :frusty:

Original harem

What Bean-O said. But if you want a vermin killer those types aren't the right ones for the job. I know 8 line also are always picking on coral bases etc. leopards but they like their sand as well. Some folks add a small tote in a corner like a bed for their wrasses.
