Over the weekend, I picked up this awesome looking melanarus wrasse from OC Tropical Fish Store out in Lake Forest. Soon as I put this puppy in the tank it started to swim against the glass side to side. It look like the wrasse was insane and thought it sees another wrasse. Sensing the insanity of the wrasse, my Blue tang started to pick at him alittle. Then the wrasse dives into the sand and it disappear for 2 days. I start poking the sand to see where it went and I disturb his sleep. It came out of the same and shoved it's head into a mushroom. Then it darted into the back of the tank and into the sand. Wrasse has not eaten for now 3 days. Is this normal??? I have a pic of them. Beautiful colors and I don't want it to die.
