Leopard Wrasse ??

[kayak385]

I am going to be purchasing a Leopard Wrasse for my 75 gallon tank that has been setup for 2+ years.
Question: I have crushed coral, should I buy some finer substrate to accommodate it's "sleeping/hiding" habits or should a lot of caves and hiding places be enough?
Thanks,
Brandon

I believe they sleep in the sand, could you make sandy areas?

They do sleep in the sand. You will need to get some sand.

But you can't put sand on the top of CC b/c it will end up below it. Bigger stuff works its way to the top.

True, but i am not suggesting throwing sand on top of the CC but start taking the cc out and replacing it with sand. The fish in my eyes is not really worth it. I do not see the fish but maybe if I am lucky 1x a week and never when the lights are on.

In my experience they spend most of the time buried. I get them at work and they dont have any problem burying them selves in the CC as long as it is loose. And we rarely sell one because they are buried all the time. I have not seen any ill effect from them burying themselves under the coarse cc. BUT i agree sand would be better.
