Just decided to make a little video on this guy coming out today instead of photos. He is a crafty fellow. Beautiful and active fish, so far so good!

Wow, I love that new Melanurus Wrasse, Paul!
Maybe 3-4" range. Pretty good size.

Thanks guys! I was hesitant for putting one into a 40 breeder, but I think its going to work out. I've seen a lot of success with the Halichoeres wrasses doing very well in 40 gallon aquariums, though according to LA, they are a 50 gal. minimum fish. There is a lot of open swimming room in my 40 breeder, and I many change a little to make some larger tunnels in the rock, though he gets around very well as it is. I figured my dottyback would have rushed up on it upon adding it, but the size difference I think steered him clear. Thy just kinda stay out of each others way, no conflict at all. Everyone elses swims around with him except the ruby dragonet who just scoots around with the snail, crabs, and starfish.
Wow his colors are a lot more brilliant than my lunar ,
I don't know why I all of a sudden turned into such a wrasse junkie
Just got on the waiting list for a formosa wrasse , Figured he would do good with my red corris wrasse ,
I have a 180g coming from NY my brothers bringing it out when he comes out to visit in oct

They look very similar though! Erases are very cool fish and there are some very attractive colored ones.
Your wrasse will be fine in the 40b just be sure you have a tight cover , if he is anything like mine he will do laps around the power head , I got caught off guard when my corris wrasse jumped when I had the lid off as I was cleaning he went almost 5ft straight up than back in tank I got lucky , I never realized how high they can jump now I can just imagine the distance he can jump ,
That's a nice frag tank you built there ,
I was reading a article in a reefer magazine the guy used 3/4 lexan to build his 4X8 frag tank , He basically did it with toung and grove , it was quite interesting as everything locked together , I would love to build a nice frag tank but mine would probably look like snot as I am very messy when it comes to silicon

Figure I'd finally get on building the stand for that frag tank i made. It's getting there... (weighs a ton, overbuilt!)
Nice job on that frag tank stand Paul. You are very good at building those aquarium stands. You could definitely make some extra cash building them.
