He (I am guessing sex according to the level of dorsal areas) has not yet appeared to be extremely competitive whatsoever, staying next to my banded goby on most hours
Wrasse type/safety and carpet anemone move Hello again Anthony Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I’ve had a minor op on my foot and only just come back to work. In my last e-mail I was asking about a Lawnmower Blenny and the fish it would have to live with in my two tanks, the gist of the e-mail and my return response is this: [regarding algae control] << I know about the skimming but I have a problem in getting a hang on type to fit my tank which has glass ledges 6" wide each end as well as front and back ledges of 2" plus no room for a sump! Else, you can use a sump model and pump from the display to an upstream vessel like a refugium with a skimmer and them let the water overflow back down to the display> I have an adapted sea clone that came with the tank (2nd hand) and the glass was broken at the top to accommodate the SC.
I plan to get a new tank eventually but not yet. The other tank is newish but not reef ready and I bought a prism skimmer for 140 pounds sterling before I found your site! I do have concern that the Green Bird (? After >that, I have seen them fed 4″ crayfish which they smash to pieces >off the rocks. Do consider removing in time. Kindly, Anthony> << I think my Wrasse is a male Thalassoma lunare , mainly green with slight flecks of blue on the body and blue/red markings on his face, he also has a yellow tail. He is very active, nosey and a fast swimmer but I haven't seen him be aggressive towards anything else in the tank.
In short supply of replacing the fresh wrasse that have a smaller sized type otherwise good various other seafood totally, what exactly do you highly recommend I really do so you can acquire it apparent growing risk?
Was he mature during the eight” and certainly will the guy are still a man within my container? Lunare wrasses was gorgeously sturdy and beautiful fishes although are infamously aggressive. I have seen specimens more than 30cm a lot of time> I’m extremely partial to your due to his profile! We phone call Nasos “Naso” or “lipstick” tang> exploit seems identical to a good Acanthurus Lineatus (Pajama doctor) oh precious! Easy to feed but difficult to keep live to your a captive diet plan for some. Including need large much time tanks with very good drinking water path and they truly are a bit competitive> As i get notice am i able to ask about my Carpet anemone’s lso are construction? I’d to make use of specific stress to force him so that wade however, I do not imagine We broken your by any means with the exception of worry.
What should I do if anything? If it continues for weeks, consider that more light or water flow may be needed> How can you move a carpet without hurting/stressing him ? Also I bought 1 marine white and 1 actinic fluorescent lights for him but am wondering if this is enough light even though it is a small tank. Jenny Canary Wrasse Woes Bob (Steve),
