Just wanted to update everyone on this fish, still very happy and fat. From looking at the pictures from the 1st page of this thread to now, it is noticeable how much fuller her belly is. She is still eating Mysis and Nori. It's been about 7 months since I've had her now.

I had one scare when I checked on my tank one night, she was laying, motionless on the sand. I thought she died and I went to scoop her out, turned out she was sleeping. I'm not sure who was more scared, the fish or a half sleep reefer realizing he has a zombie fish...

For those with cleaner wrasses... when first introduced did they take long to acclimate to the tank and swim around?

MIne came from someone elses tank so he acclimated very quickly, not sure how "newer" ones would do...

But from what I have read and such they are a lot like copperbands, many are very difficult to acclimate to a tank. Which is also why a lot of people do not reccomned getting them as the usually do not fare well....

But there is a lot of information in forums to be read and everyones tank & experiences are different....

Mine was in a store tank full of a shoal of Chromis. He was swimming with the shoal and was very active, has been like that since I added him. Minor issue with the Sixline to start off with, but overall it's been great.

Again, I don't recommend everyone go and buy one, due to various reasons, however for the few that find a healthy, eating, active one that are rarely available from a store or from another reefer, they can be a great fish to have.
