Radiant Wrasse and Seagrass Wrasse at...

...YourReef. Just a heads up, as I think some people were looking for Radiants. The Seagrass, I hear, eats those zoo-eating nudibranchs

Just a note the seagrass are spastic fish. I had one for a few weeks, and it pulled things off my frag rack and was always stirring up the sand. Cool fish, but just right for my 30g.

I remember that thread you had, John. Did you get it for nudi-eating purposes?

Sadly it went carpet surfing, since I didn't complete my canopy yet. It looked over the rocks real slowly, so it was promising, but I never saw it eat any of my nudis. A totally cool fish that burrows. At CRS I saw one hiding among the xenia. How much for them Karl?

two fish that we would love to have... hopefully once our tank is finally up and operational (and we finish the top for it) they will have some more in. The radiant wrasse was one of the fish where the pictres that I had seen simply didn't do it justice !!

I almost bought a radiant today. I chose the Exquisit instead. I bought the Red Eye Wrasse the day before yesterday. I was going to go with the Radiant but i havent done any research on the lil buggers at all. Do they play well with others. Will they enjoy other Wrasses in the tank. Will they eat my reef. Is $49 a good price for a 4 inch Radiant? Full plumage...maroonish and beautiful! Healthy as hell too. Please say yes to all my ?s so i can go buy that lil bugger tomorrow! THanks...Sorry for the hijack!

EDIT! I hope they wont eat my reef!

i think i picked this one up last night . but john still had the smaller one avail. it was only about .5" smaller but just as active/healthy. my sixlines and yellow coris are harassing the newcomer but i hope they let up.

Yeah, they are normally entirely peaceful except maybe to other much smaller wrasses when they get bigger. I've kept one with flasher and possum wrasses and it didn't bother them. They will pick at pods, and if you have any really small shrimp or snails they may attack them. They'll also attack bristleworms.
