BEWARE! Evolved is evil! NEW WRASSE need ID help, ahem!lol

I lost more than I'd like to admit before I finally got my screen covers done correctly.

If there's a hole, it's simply a matter of when, not if.

My condolences however

 

Sorry to hear this. My tank is a 100% covered and even still today during feeding my Fiji Exquisite Wrasse found its way into my overflow box. Wrasses are pretty amazing at finding their way out of the tank.

 

I don't even remove my tops at feeding time anymore. I have screen pull tabs in them and I simply lift them just enough to drop the mysis spoon in, then promptly close the top.

I picked a fish up off the floor on three different occasions before I figured this out. LOL
Food in. Fish out, right in front of me. Guess he beat the others. And yes, each was promptly and safely returned each time.

 

Thanks, I'm just pissed. Ya said they'd find any hole, but i looked at this hole and was like, he's gonna need carabinners and climbing rope to work his way through that. Well he fashioned a rope and made it. Smart little buggers.
Hole will be patched and new wrasse/warasse got in a few weeks. Gonna change my substrate out so i can get a leopard as well as another line spot.

 

That is crazy!! Was due to food excitement or another wrasse being pushy during feeding time?

That will be good. I've had a clown go carpet surfing so far. No wrasses yet, knocks on wood. :-/

 

Feeding freenzy

Each was due to the jumper trying to beat the rest to the food.

Fish sees food, foods near surface, fish darts

 

evolved what was your thought on leopards again? sorry

 

I just slide my lid back a few inches and feed. I've had them knock the lid a few times jumping at the food, especially my big male labouti. Crazy fish!:-/

 

you have a labouti? nice

 

Yeah I have a labouti and a few others. I've had the wrasse bug for quite a while. Started with it about 3 years ago when my tank was FOWLR. Then moved into the reef safe stuff obviously when I started the reef. The set of wrasses I have in the tank now are definitely my favorite fish. ;D My pair of clowns and my tail spot blenny look odd in my tank.
