It will be two weeks tomorrow since I introduced 3 blue star leopard wrasses to my tank. They are known to be easily stressed but I took some precautions, as described in my last blog entry. After introduction into the tank the wrasses will generally bury themselves in the sand bed, sometimes for a week+.

Wrasse #1 emerged 2 days after introduction to the tank and is out every morning to great me and eat. Generally she is back in the sand by late afternoon.

Wrasse #2 has popped out a couple times in the evening but has only spent a short amount of time out before ducking back into the sand.

Wrasse #3 had not been seen since introduction to the take until this morning! I had just feed the fish some mysis. Wrasse #1 was feeding when all of a sudden #3 decided to leave the cozy sand bed to join her! The slowly circled each other to check things out. They then began to roam the tank together. Wrasse #1 is bigger then #3 and seemed to be letting her know she is in charge.

I snapped a couple pictures and shot a video. Now, my tank is a bit of a mess. I have some coral frags sitting on the sand bed and I have adopted some stress frags, a couple which did not make it. Otherwise enjoy the fish!
