Hi Folks,
I have a new 6 Line Wrasse that is doing great except he doesn't appear to be eating. Any thoughts on what or how I can get him to eat? Is he just picking up stuff without me seeing it? He isn't going to the top or catching the food drops but he is picking off the bottom. Should I just stop worrying? :happyfish

I have two six-lines and they are not very aggressive feeders. They mainly feed from live rock organisiums like pods and worms so best to have a well estabished system. They do take their time feeding but will eat introduced foods at their rate.
I watch mine normally hide when the other fish are feeding but later the six-line's bellys are full so they take care of themselfs fine.

did he eat at the store by any chance? i was not successful with the sixline i bought a few months ago. I hear they ship very poorly. I know they eat off the rocks but i am looking for one that eats regular food in the store to hopefully add to my tank.
