Most wrasse start out as female and then change to male or terminal male sometime there after.
Also, a Leopard wrasse is suggested for mature aquariums ONLY, as they hunt pods for food blablblaba!


YT-How long have you had the wrasse? Leopards are sand burrowing right, at night when they sleep? How long have you had him?

I have had it since last fall, yes it burrows into the sand and it is so cool. right after light out it will swim around then all of a sudden it dives into the sand. yes he hunts pods all day but he also eats prime reef flakes like crazy!

Nice pics! I cant get mine to sit still long enough to take a pic like that. Mine is also starting to exhibit the blue like yours. I have had mine about as long too, wont eat flake but loves frozen.

such a cool fish! tip for picture, you have to use a flash. mine wont stay still either, but I use a flash on fish and take many many pictures to get a couple good ones! give it a try.
