Ornate Leopard Wrasse

I bought this one a few weeks ago along with a baby Black Leopard. I don't think the baby black one made it, but still crossing my fingers. I have seen the Ornate and Black Leopards a total of 10 minutes in the last 3 weeks, and hadn't seen either one for a week. I was looking at my tank a few minutes ago and saw the Ornate pop its head out of the sand. It would only come out 1/2 way and after a few pictures it went back under. Last Saturday when I saw her she was out swimming and I put in a ton of different foods and she ate a ton of food. I thought that was a really good sign, then she was gone for an entire week. Finally I was able to get a couple pics though and I think she is just super shy because she appears healthy.

Thanks all.. I picked it up at a new LFS in Santa Barbara called Aquatic Designs. I paid $48 for it. With Leopard wrasses, for me anyway, I never QT them (which I have learned I should do so, at least for the babies because I am 0/2 with baby leopards, ones less than 1"). The most I do with the larger leopards is float in bag with lights out for 15 minutes, then slowly drip acclimate for 45 minutes, then dump water/fish out into a net over the sink and release fish into tank.

I just wish this new one wasn't so shy. She came out yesterday a couple hours before the lights come on, I saw her from across the room, then I took 2 steps towards the tank, about 15' a way, and it spooked her and she dove right back under the sand. She hasn't eaten any food that I put in the tank in 10 days now, so I am hoping she is getting some pods to eat.

Few videos.. fish are doing a lot better now that I got the "terrors" out of the tank.
