Do you think a couple of small pieces (3-4”) will bring enough to the table to make it worth looking into?

I did add IPSF mud and sand to the Fuge however Im always thinking of ways to bring more to the system.

The increase of biodiversity is always a plus in my book.

Added the Radiant wrasse, African Fairy Wrasse and a Long Nose Hawk this morning. The African is still hanging below the rock work but no aggression thus far. Quick Video.

Yep. A Fat Head Sunburst. Fairly timid for an Anthias it seems. Got him locally a few weeks back for $60 then saw what they go for on DD and nearly had a stroke. Wish I bought a couple more.

How do the Pintail and Lunatus get along?

I think you need a Rhomboid and Lineatus to break up the orange! lol.

Following along!

Glad to have you along!

Female Rhomboid coming this week actually :) and Im growing out a small 1.5” Flame a bit before she goes in too. Those will probably be the last two wrasse assuming all goes well.

The Pintail is by far the most dominate male as it stands. He gives everyone a good chase when the mood strikes and maybe focuses on the Lunatus a touch more than others but overall nothing serious. Will be interesting to watch as the Lunatus matures more.

Nice! Both will make great additions.

My pintail and most that I have seen have been timid. it will definitely be interesting to see as they are from the same sub family.

Good luck!

Your wrasses are beautiful! Did I just say that? Wrasses and Tangs! What have you guys done to me?
We start with clowns, damsels and gobies and wind up with sharks, rays and whales!

I wish I could capture the wrasse better in pics. Someday they’ll pose for a shot that I cant screw up :)
