This Potter's wrasse I got is absolutely awesome. The color and pattern is insane. Just wanted to share the photo. Anyone else have one of these?

Nice looking fish!

I saw one at my LFS and I fell in love with it as well, except I haven't heard much about the fish and I don't have my new 65 gallon tank set up yet!
I can't wait to hear about your new fish b/c if it is a good one I might consider adding it to the list!
Also is it reef safe/ all corals/ clam safe?
(I know with every fish you get it could not be reef safe but I need to know if it can go w/ corals and clams.
What else is in you tank
list of fish, size of tank, list of corals! PLEASE!!
Good luck with the new purchase!

This is my first exoctic type fish in my 90gal. I also bought a Scopas Tang the same day. I wanted both a wrasse and tang. The Potter's wrasse seems to be rare as I cannot find much info either that or its a terrible fish and no one wnats to talk about it
. Man I have really enjoyed it the last 4 days. Its constantly moving and is all over the tank. Its a bit reved up but fun to watch. It eats like a pig. I think they really thrive on pods. I have TONS in my tank and I always add more. It loves to eat them off the rock but its been eating mysis and flake. I think I just got lucky wiht this one. Its been great in the reef that I have so far. Just a fun fish and peaceful.

sweet fish many wrasses are coral safe but will eat crustaceans like cleaner shrimp and crabs so if you are questioning the compatability due to lack of info i would watch your crustaceans and again sweet fish

Appearantly this sucker loves pods. I watch and he just cruises around eating off rock. I put some pods in and turned of all the pumps and he just ATTACKED. Pretty cool but going to be some work to keep the pods in stock!
