Got this guy, today...

Now...is anyone familiar with Red Coris Wrasse's??

He's awesome. Absolultey loved the camera and when he was done taking pics, he completely buyied himself in the sand. Is this normal?? Hopefully!

EDIT: Well, I found the answer to my own quesion. First off, they're commonly know as the Coris Gaimard (Red Coris Wrasse). They do bury themselves when they feel threatened or when they sleep. Just kinda freaked me out...

Anyway, the other thing that I didnt know, but found out the hard way is...they eat crabs. lol I have 6 or 8 Blue Legged Hermits in the tank that are now crushed shells. Oh well...

He is doing fine, the day after. Eating lots of mysis and I've fed him 4 or 5 pieces of chopped squid. One of the coolest fish I've ever seen.
