Leopard Wrasse Owners

I got mine last Wednesday put her in the tank and she swam around for about 10 mins and dove into the sand not to be seen since. I understand this is normal behavior, and not to disturb the sandbed and all that good stuff. I was just wondering if anyone had similar experience and how long it took for yours to come out.

Was anyone picking on it?

 

[Aere]

didn't seem to be. Acclimated her for about an hour. Lights were off so most the fish were hiding. Swam around a bit and then poof...

Mine buried down for a few days. Thought he may have been a goner. But he popped up and been great.
Lets hope for the best.

Mine swam around and started punking my clowns...hahahaha

 

[Aere]

Nothing you can do now but wait......

I bought 2 at the same time. 1 died, the other stayed in the sand for a few days. Once it finally came out, my 6 line gave it a hard time for a couple days, but it's been swimming since. It's probably normal for it to take the a few days

Great for you! Mine's been missing for a week & 5 days now..

 

[Aere]

stick with it, I had given up on mine, and than all of a sudden she is out and about today, and it took 3 weeks!

It's probably out when the lights are out following its own sleep cycle .
Good luck

Just got a new one on Saturday (living in my refigium). Within one day it ate mysis. Within two days its on pellets. This is a miracle. Now all I gotta do is catch and sell my melanarus....
