mystery wrasse need sand? or the sleep in rocks?

thanks

rocks.

only these wrasses from the following genus sleep in sand.

Anampses (tamarin wrasse)

Macropharyngodon (Leopard wrasses)

Halichores

Coris

Pseudojuloides (Pencil wrasses)

Pseudocoris

there are many more wrasses that sleep in the sand, but the above mentioned ones are those commonly offered to the trade.

if your wrasse does not belong to the above genus, it sleeps in the rocks.

thanks again lemon

Is it possible to keep Larvatus Butterfly alive ? Read it kinda difficult butterfly fish

Is it possible to keep Larvatus Butterfly alive ? Read it kinda difficult butterfly fish

success rate is very low.

difficult is an understatement. larvatus butterfly is one of the many "obligate coral eating" butterflies.

this means that they do not eat anything but coral in the wild. and the coral they eat in the wild, is SPS. and not all kinds of SPS. many of them are very picky on the species of SPS they eat.

Larvatus butterfly belongs to the "triangular butterfly" complex that includes borronessa and triangulum. these 3 butterflies are one group of many that eat nothing but SPS.

other groups are the "ornate butterfly complex", the "plebeius complex" and the "chevron complex" amongst others.

yes there have been some success with people managing to wean these butterflies on prepared food and keeping them long term, but the odds are low and the chances of survival are rather slim. and even then, getting them to eat is one thing. getting them to survive on prepared fish food is another.

hope this helps you my friend.

i always categorise butterflies into 3 groups.

impossible

possible but not reef safe

possible but reef safe

unfortunately, the beautiful larvatus butterfly falls into category 1.

M3morph is at pasir ris farmway 1, you must go straight pass the wafer plant to the end then turn left, follow the road and turn left again.
