Cancun,
1. They are just a true perculia and a snowflake. I definitely tried to stay on the peaceful side of clowns. 5. That's a good thought, and it's quite possible my LFS has his in a coral tank as well where the sg would be much closer. Thanks for the reply. Your fish look great.

Anyone know if this marco sand would be suitable for leopard wrasses?
http://www.marcorocks.com/products/s...priority-mail/ I want to make sure I get a good grain size that is safe for their burrowing. |

I’ve got the Marco sand and my leopard had no problems burying in QT and is doing great in the display, which is also Marco sand. Don’t see any issues with it!

I did a couple of rounds of prazi in the qt. She is eating great, pellets, flakes, frozen mysis. I put her in the DT today after a couple of hours in an acclimation box. She seemed a bit stressed with the new tank mates, kept pacing back and forth. Oddly enough, my big green blue chromis developed a grudge and was chasing her around... don’t you just hate it when your $10 dollar fish bullies your $200 dollar fish So I’ll be looking to trap out the bully chromis. I’ll take some pics once she settles in a bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Ordered these a few days ago. Really loving them. I think I actually like them better than Choati’s now. First time I’ve actually seen Potter’s in person. Both came from saltwaterfish.com and are eating great.

If you get them through liveaquaria and get the small size. Just know they can be very small.
Not too long ago I ordered 4 ( small )from them and they were the smallest leopard wrasses I have ever seen. 2 of them were approx. 3/4" and the other 2 were about 1", maybe a little more. They did quarantine well and have been in my 240 for a couple months.

It's almost funny sometimes when you order fish from them when it comes to sizes. I've ordered a small meleagris before and received a 1-1/2" fish. I ordered a small potters wrasse and received a 4-1/2" fish. If I could only get the potters in small, I'd be pretty happy.

I thought that too in my 240, but they like to eat and I feed a couple times a day and they have a pretty good internal clock.
