    Great FOTM!!! I saw a dragon wrasse in a pet store the other day. I know the guy that bought him and he died within 2 days. This guy is an experienced reefer with 4 tanks. Are all wrasse this hard to acclimate?

    We've had Dragon wrasses in at the shop for months before. We have one down there right now. Never really had any problem with them. The leopard wrasse however don't ship well. We get about 1 out 5 that make it.

    Great fish, great pics! Almost makes me want one!!

    My camera always wants to focus on the scratches of the acrylic tank. I also can't get great pics.

    I've been kinda waiting to see if the mods were going to put something together. I think I'll send a PM and inquire about another POTM. And yes, "THAT GUY" will need to be sabotaged somehow. Definitely awesome pics. I don't think I have a chance of winning either but, it's fun to try.
