Melanurus wrasse. I got him last month and had him in qt. He was initially very slow to react to food. The food would have to fall on him for him to know it's there. Eventually he learn to eat from the water column and now is more aggressive at eating... he darts at it but usually misses a lot. And I in can but my hands right up to the glass and he has no reaction. Other fish back off immediately. He seem healthy and eating well. I put him in the the DT last week. Yesterday I tried to grab him with a net and he came right into it first try. Isn't that unusual? Still no reaction when I put my face to him in the glass either.
