Lubbocks Black Bar Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)
Tomorrow, if it looks good and it's eating a variety of foods I'm going to get a Blue Star Leopard Wrasse. Otherwise it'll be a Carpenters Flasher.
ETA: I did buy the female Blue Star Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon bipartitus) but I won't bring it home until it's fully acclimated. It was out and about and looked very comfortable, though!

Hi Smitty! I want to get a new wrasse and I've always like mystery wrasses. How do you like yours? Do they jump?

Speaking of wrasses, has anyone kept burrowing wrasses in a bare bottom tank? I am thinking of getting rid of my sand. Will they do okay with just PVC's to hide in? Or will they stress? They don't have sand in LFS, so I was thinking it would be fine.

[MENTION=3377]wrasse[/MENTION] PM me these...for wrasse in tank with no sand...
Here is some information about the Wrasse Den we were talking about.
The company that makes the Wrasse den:
http://www.thealternativereef.com/ar/Products.html
On Their web site they don't even have the wrasse den listed on their product page though.
Here is a link to an article on reef builders.
https://reefbuilders.com/2013/09/04/...ebottom-tanks/
These look smaller than mine.
Mine looks more like the one pictured in this link
http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/wra...ilable.150699/
When I placed my order I Just asked for the Den and not in any particular color due to it being an item they may not have in stock. I was sent the natural color, he may have the purple I am not sure. They are about 9 x 9 inches I paid 30. I bought multiple Wrasse Den's to help insure the wrasse to find the den.
I contacted Scott about the dens.
Here is Scott's email

I have mine with out sand and he just hides between my racks at night they should be ok. I am getting ready to add a small bowl of sand deep enough for him to burrow in at night

I love mines, he's always super active. I don't have a cover over my tank, and he doesn't even attempt to jump out or splash the top.

I believe over time as they mature they will eat up shrimp but just depends on the wrasse if hungry

Thanks! That may be a deal breaker since I like having small inverts.
