This 70 gallon is acting as the set up tank for the 150 I have being built for the wall. I would say it should be housing the fish for less than 6 months. I am aware that Hog's are wrasse's but nothing I read stated they were intolerant of other wrasse's or vice versa. The two from my list I...

It's now 2 weeks and I too have the same problem. Has a yellow & grey discoloration but not shedding. Reloctaed to the center of the tank. It expands & contracts but won't open. I guess they're fussy. Curious to see what happens. Please post your outcome!
