Naesco, good information.. I personally would consider Snappy to be an "advanced" aquarist......that was a male he lost, the females are orange with no markings.

I never mean to comment on anyone's abilities but just want to draw to all reefers attention that many fish are best left in the sea or attempted by very experienced reefers. IMO this is one of those species.
Thanks Chaloupa

I had one exactly the same however he tried jumping from one tank to another and did not make it. It had magnificent colouring.

I had one for several months but my blue-sided fairy wrasse chased him out of the 210g reef tank. I saved him twice, but the third time he went out the back & it took too long to reach him. It was too bad since he was a beauty, just like yours. I'll only get another if I put glass tops on my tank. Mine ate like a pig & was always cruising around the tank.
