"Halichoeres garnoti"
I purchased this fish as a juvenile. Shop called it a "Yellow Blue Line Wrasse". The Adult is various shades of yellow and currently about 4.5 inches long. No problem with other fish in the tank. It's the only one I have seen on this side of the pond. Only reference to it is in
Vol 1 of Baensch which states that it comes from the Caribbean and west Atlantic. Hence my question on this forum. I'm hoping that someone on here will have kept this fish and one other that I will mention.
I keep a head of hermit crabs in my reef and when the numbers appear to be diminishing I purchaseabout fifty more. I have never got to a point when there were none in the tank, until now! The only changes that have been made are the maturing of the Wrasse and the addition of a Smith's Tooth Blennie which is a mid water swimmer.
Does anyone have experience of these two fish and can tell me of the likelyhood that one or the other maybe eating my hermits?
Thanks
