Hello all!
I just got a new wrasse on 8/20.
I already have a fairy wrasse and he is full grown.
I added a female (about 3”) leopard wrasse in an acclimation box with sand and lots of sea lettuce (covered in pods and just extra hiding) she was in the box on the side of the tank for about a full 48hrs.
on 8/22 I dropped the box (with her in it) into the display and let her acclimate at the bottom of the tank (the top of the acclimation box is open)
On 8/23 I dumped the acclimation box and removed it from the tank but made sure the sea lettuce was still in that spot so that she could have a home base.
Introduction went pretty well with the fairy. They danced around each other for a while and seemed to enjoy each other’s company. My lemon peel angel tends to get mildly aggressive when feeding time but all other times she is quite timid.
I have not seen the leopard wrasse all day today, and I know that this is extremely normal behavior.
I am curious if there is a way for me to tell where in the tank she has buried herself. Are there any signs of sandbed disruption that will allow me to pinpoint where in the tank she is at (just so I can keep an eye on that spot)
I have some cyano (no much) growing on the sand and I like to stir up the sand Bed once a day, and I do not want to accidentally bump her and cause more harm than good.
