And Mission, your Six Line Wrasse is what I originally wanted... very nice too, just saw the pic you posted in that other thread.
But the LFS had just sold their last 6 Line Wrasse earlier that day, and my wife wanted the Leopard Wrasse after seeing it. She always gets her way, mostly.

My six-line is the reason I won't get a leopord. I don't want any conflicts. I've heard it'll work,but, I don't want to chance it. I can't see it happening with my wrasse.

Thanks Scott,
I'll try to get more pics sometime soon and add to this thread.
It's tough to get good pictures of. It is the last one to come out after the daylight tank lights come on, and goes back to bed before the daylight tank lights even go out. I have them set on 8 hours with the actinics coming on 2 hrs before and off 2 hrs after that, with moonlights. I've never seen it out at night, and have NO IDEA where it hides - either buries in the sand bed or in the LR somewhere I don't know about. I moved every piece of LR last night while cleaning the tank and no sign of him at all. He was out when I got home from work though. Eats frozen Hikari stuff, but likes the Mega Marine best, and picks at the LR for food. It swims along with the blue tang sometimes, and even the damsels don't bother it. I think it's a female by it's markings, but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyone know for sure, or have any other tips on keeping this fish, since there is not a lot of info out there on them that I could find?
Thanks.

Time for a tank update. Since last posting on this thread, we haven't seen the algae blenny in over a week. I'm assuming it was eaten by the hermit crabs and shrimp, cause it's nowhere. While I was out trout fishing on Sunday, I returned to find a small yellow tang and an unknown coral. We also got some sort of finger-leather coral a couple weeks back, but haven't made time to post up some pics until now. Here ya go.

Here's the new coral - any idea what it's called?


Here's the finger coral and yellow tang hanging out late with the clownfish:


And a better shot of the new yellow tang and the finger coral:

That trumpet in your first set of pics is the same as mine (which I've had for almost 10 years now). With proper care, yours will be as large as mine (about the size of a softball and it's been fragged many many many times)
