chrisfowler99 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Wow .. great picture there Gabe! I can never get my fish to hold still long enough If you can freeze the water fast enough you can get some great pics of fish that aren't moving.

+ACampbell Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 This particular wrasse is very hard to photograph. I was never able to get a good pic of mine. Excellent job Gabe. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Beautiful picture. I have been thinking about adding one to my 180 gallon but the few details I've read state they're reef ready but will consume snails / hermits. How is it working out in your tank?

GKarshens Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks guys! I feed him a whole cockle clam every other day. So far so good. I have had him about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think Gabe's over the coral thing and this guy would be the first fish I'd add! COOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Corals are not a problem. Clams, shrimp, snails and crabs are a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKarshens Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks! I am using a Nikon D200 with the 18-135mm lens. It is a little grainy since I reduced the quality for the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosslonghorns Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hey, how is the fish working out? Has it gone for any livestock in the tank (snails, crabs, shrimp)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 I didn't have any shrimp due to having the 2 Wrasses already. I have not seen it go after any inverts yet. I feed him a clam every few days which is a big meal. He also gets PM Mysis on the other days. I am hoping if he stays full he wont feel the need to hunt. By the way I just got a Golden Rhomboid Wrasse too! Awesome fish, but still too skittish to get a decent shot of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That is good to hear. This has always been one of the fish on my want list but I'm a bit weary for my inverts + my tank is an open top and from what I've read wrasses are notorious for jumping.

GKarshens Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Most Wrasses are a definite danger for jumping. However I think the Harlequin would be an exception. They are slow swimmers and not near as edgy as their smaller brethren. Kingfish has one just like mine right now. Came in the same shipment.
