can anyone ID this for me? it’s supposed to be a melanurus, but it’s not a male, and its kinda close, but doesn’t appear to be a female, from what i can tell either. i can’t find pictures of a changing one. it’s also very close to some pictures of orange-lined/adorned wrasse, but i just can’t find any pictures of it, exactly:/ *if it IS a female melanurus, is it safe to keep a male and female together?

I can’t find it anywhere, so maybe it got deleted, or too old? I don’t know, but it’s not showing up in my activity, but i know I had a thread before asking about mixing fairy and flasher wrasse. Someone posted an awesome diagram specifically about that, with boxes of species that go together, versus what doesn’t. Does anyone happen to have that chart?

I've only recently started really getting into fairy wrasse, but I can't seem to get definitive information on keeping them together. It was my understanding, stemming from firsthand experience, albeit pretty limited, that at least some of the common ones(lubbocks, carpenters, etc) can happily live together with different species, even in small tanks, but as far as in general, everyone seems to have different opinions(well, of "yes" and "no", anyway). So, overall can different species live together? In any dynamic-males/males, famales/females, males/females, males&females/males, m&f/f, m&f/m&f "/" = different species a tank full of many different fairy&flasher wrasse species would be absolutely jaw dropping!!!!

On Saturday I introduced my new leopard wrasse (female) into my tank. She perched under my hammer coral for about a minute and a half and then dove under the sand bed. I haven't seen her since. We had a leopard wrasse in the past, so I know they bury themselves to sleep or when they are stressed. My question (hence the subject of the thread) is when should I get worried? - i.e., how long is too long? I know pretty much where she went in -- although there's obviously no guarantee she's still in the same place -- and I suppose I could probe around, but I don't want to just add to the stress level. The tank is covered (I know they can be jumpers), and there's no sign she's managed to carpet surf, so I'm assuming she's still OK and in the tank. When do I start seriously questioning that assumption?
