Ornate Leopard Wrasse (Arrival and Quarantine)

[Vermontreefer]

After the unfortunate demise of my last leopard wrasse, I pulled the trigger on this ornate from live aquaria. Going with a much more conservative approach to introduction this time around.
Shipping was fast and temp was good, it’s already eaten a serving a frozen marine cuisine (have a culture of brine shrimp nearing adulthood ready to go). I added some backing to the qt so it’s a little less exposed after this video was taken.
No medications yet but sitting at 1.018 salinity for the time being. Will treat with light prazipro eventually but just monitoring and getting it eating for now
Am I missing anything?

Can't see the video, could you try uploading to YouTube and reposting?

The fact that it's eating so soon after being shipped is a good sign.

That is a great looking fish. One day I’ll have the tank that will fit one. For now my McCosker’s wrasse is about as big as I can do.

Looks good if a little unsure. Seems like its wanting to dive into the sand. ( i know its a normal reaction)

Well now I'm bummed that everyone can see the video but me!

I press and hold on the video icon till a menu pops up, then I select download linked file (iPad). I then get a download applet at the top of the screen where I can open the movie.

otherwise, I can never see them.

Your leopard looks good! I think your plan of getting it comfortable and eating well before dosing prazi is fine.
