So I got a Melanurus Wrasse almost 3 weeks ago from Blue Zoo. I acclimated it for a period of 3 hours and then into the tank it went. It immediatly burried itself in the sand. I figured it would be like the Yellow and Purple wrasse and stay hidden for a few days at best. Well I still haven't seen it since that first day and I figured it had died.
Well, today I noticed this huge cloud of sand stir up for no reason. I thought well it's either the Engineer Goby or something else. I got my flashlight and looked under the tank and wouldn't you know it, the Melanurus Wrasse was laying on the glass bottom. I can't believe its still alive. I guess it stays hidden in the rocks and under the sand all day and maybe comes out at night to feed. I think its pretty crazy. Hope it starts to come out in the open more as its quite a striking looking fish.
