thanks guys... the wrasse and unicorn tang are already eating mysis i just feed the tank and they are chasing the food around especially the wrasse.... ill try to snap a pic of the unicron tang its only like 4" long or so so it doesnt have its unicorn developed yet it has a small bumb on its head but i just wanted a small one since they get so big
** i dont QT but i probably should its just a chance i take since i dont have another tank setup

That is a beautiful wrasse. How common are they? Don't seem to get any of them around here. You always seem to get the not so common fish murph.

i get them cuz i go to the wholesalers directly and thats where they have these bad boys lol.... the wierd thing is fish are harder for me to keep long term over acros lol.... go figure.... i got this guy for $14.95 they retail for around $80-90

That is the advantage of living on the west coast. Not too many gorgeous fish come out of the atlantic. Job well done. Good luck with it.

sounds about right....store pays 15 customer pays 90...i mean just from a fish breeders point of veiw...you get 10-25% what the fish is going to sell for to a wholeseller
i love that wrasses, and them blue zoos with the black skirts, what are them called?
