Thought I would give an update. The wrasse never took to the black worms. I tried a few days per week with them. My other fish loved them, I however, was not too fond of the whole idea. After three weeks of eating pods and picking at rocks, she took her first frozen food today. In case anyone else is runs into a similar issue, I finally got her to eat a mix of Mysis, cyclopeeze and spirulina completely soaked in garlic extreme. I will warn anyone who has not used the garlic - your entire house will smell like it. It was well worth getting this beautiful girl to eat. Just another lesson in 'research before you buy.'

You are a brave man. or just insane.

I picked it up today, but she is only out in the morning, so hopefully I can get her eating first thing tomorrow. I will pick up some black worms later in the week if she still isn't eating. I've heard they can't resist them.

Mine came out first thing yesterday morning. Hopefully she will do well. I am waiting to see her eat.

Well, I let her out in my tank. She swam around and explored a bit, then buried herself in he sand for the night. Fingers crossed, she comes out in the morning.

I just started researching my evenings impulse buy, (yes, I know better) and I am having an 'Oh, Crap' moment. My pretty fish is difficult at best. So I am turning to my fellow reefers and hoping someone has advice for me. (Other than to quit impulse buying.) Has anyone kept a black leopard wrasse successfully? If so, what did you do special. Thanks!

Give her a break. Her brain's the size of a pea.

I can frag mine if you would like some. It is pulsing xenia. Just let me know.

I had heard of mushrooms eating clowns, but they were always talking about single mushrooms that were 1 ft or larger in diameter. Most of the mushrooms in the trade, simply don't get that large. The species to be wary of is the elephant ear, which is a fish eater by nature, and will not hesitate to have your clown as breakfast.

Yes and no. It is mine, but apparently it is up for debate if they are called powder browns or A. Nigricans are. Either way, that's my George, and I am calling him powder brown! He has finally settled in and claimed a cave as his territory. Now I am hoping he will attack hair algae with a vengeance.

I officially asked my father to change his birthday so I can attend! I will be there, but I may be disowned.... Laura, you'll adopt me, right? I promise I won't take my room apart and leave it in the hallway!
