Male Melanurus Wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus)

[DocRose]

Purchased him from LiveAquaria in September 2022. He went into QT for six weeks and made it through just fine. He's perfectly healthy, but I'm sick of him picking off my snail population. He's currently in an isolation box in my display so if you come to pick him up you can observe the others (yellow, ruby longfin, green mandarin) in my display to see that every one is pest/parasite free.

Gah! I posted him on another forum a week ago, but I kept forgetting to throw up an ad here.

This guy. Pretty sure he already ate my hermit crabs but my snails have escaped so far

Nice. Mine is about that size now. He was smaller what I got him. I sumped all my hermits, but I’ve never seen him go after a crab (he was in the display with a red mithrax). Saw him eat a couple ceriths. I figured I’d grab some big turbos and maybe he’d leave them alone. NOPE. Watched him flip one over on the sand, rip its hinge open, and go to town on it. That was the last straw for me.

I don't. I apologize. I kept forgetting to update this.
