Beautiful fish by the way!
How many wrasses do you have in one tank? I want to try and get all mine at the same time to help with aggression.
Exactly, I have around 20-25 different wrasses in my 225g reeftank.
Be careful on how many you introduce at once, you have to make sure your bioload can handle it. If you have an acclimation box, it's no big deal.

Tcfab would be an excellent choice to build one. The guy that built mine quit doing it and I've had to turn away plenty of people everytime I show mine.
The lid is held in place by a tiny magnet that he placed in the lid and top of the box.
In regards to my larger wrasses, they usually are curiouse of the newbies, but aren't aggressive.  Fairy wrasses are very timid at first and if you dont socially acclimate them when you introduce them, they will find a place in the rocks to hide and wont come out for a week.

If you cant find a couple at the same time, then I would add the smallest ones first. That way as you add larger ones they will be less likely to get picked on.  An acclimation box is excellent to have for introduction also.]]> Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:47:58 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42767&PID=371327&title=trio-of-wrasse#371327 <![CDATA[trio of wrasse : tileman wrote: P.Kapp...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42767&PID=371326&title=trio-of-wrasse#371326 Author: P.Kapp

also, the mesh i have is the 1/4 in stuff from the guy on r2r. Should keep those suckers in! So are mccoskers and carpenters the same then?

They are almost identicle to me.  3 of mine are Mckoskers, at least they were sold to me as Mckoskers, but I can't tell.  I'm alot more familiar with fairy wrasses.  But since I also got the 1/4 inch mesh, it is safe to have flashers.  I haven't lost one to jumping.
Thats kinda what i thought. Figured i would ask since im far from an expert
