My new addition... Meet halichoeres chrysus

[tang_man_montreal]

Here he is in my QT just this morning!
Halichoeres Chrysus, otherwise known as a Yellow Coris Wrasse.
Picked him up yesterday!
I've had him on hold at the LFS for 2 weeks! Finally picked him up lastnight and acclimated him for 2 hours into my QT.
The minute I let him loose in the tank, He dived into the substrate for the night, only to appear this morning about 3 hours after the light went on.
Anyways, I'm hoping he'll cut into my flatworm problem that I have in the main tank. Apparently, these guys are voracious flatworm eaters.
On the subject of eating... These guys need an established tank with a good pod population, as they graze all day looking for pods and flatworms to eat!

Obviously, mine's a juvenile. Adults have different coloration...
Look here:

And a real close up of an adult.

Cool fish Tang Man
I have a similar one - four spot Wrasse (Halichoeres trispilus).
As far as I know it stays this colour and is similar in that it is always on the go. It has been known to bury for 12 hours before!!!

Yup, he's a looker, ain't he?

Great news!
Aside from forraging on pods all day long, he has a liking to Nutrafin flake food!
He was also fed a mixture of formula 1, brine and Mysis at the LFS.
