Cleaner wrasse


Recommended Posts

Tried it once out of DESPERATION.

And heard from other reefers... hardly if ever hear/seen it eating aquarium fare...

It will do well for at most a couple of weeks. Then after it decides to hide more often and behaves more sluggish. Before finally disappearing. :(

cleaner wrasse shd be left in teh sea. i hv tried a few times n they just dont survive past the 1 mth period even when started feeding... dont know why tho... so best to leave them in teh seas... 6-band wrasse is relateively easy to keep... hv kept one for 3 yrs already... if need cleaner services, maybe better to get cleaning shrimps...

when sleeping, the cleaning wrasse builds a bubble around itself in a hole... i hv seen it many times ... i suspect that maybe some crabs got to it when its asleep in the hole.

I did see some bubble... sort more like spider wax right ?

I saw it in one of the live rock opening... should it be inside there.

I don't think is due to crab because i already got the live rock from aquamarin - new 3 weeks back and no sign of crab.

:( nice fish, nice colour but cannot see leh.
