Yesterday i was on my way to kanata centre passing by to buy a salt at big al's, saw this wrasse which is i thought it was the male leopard wrasse fair price though & brought this home. i'm kinda worried to go after my shrimps but this wrasse isn't the male leopard wrasse " Dusky Wrasse" actually. I've got a few wrasse in my tank ( mystery wrasse, green coris & now w/ dusky wrasse) i was wondering if anybody have this kind of wrasse before & could anyone to share your experience about this wrasse ?

Hookup

IMO less risky than your green corris.

most wrasse are "with caution" due to their williness to nip at inverts... your corals are safe, in fact safer now because this is also a pest eater... but you might lose some hermits and snails...

a fipp'ed over snail in my tank doesn't last very long... but it's not just the wrasse... tailspots do it to...

i'd not worry a bit...   just watch...
