Redtail Tamarin Wrasse

[Rocketbobb]

Hello,

Today I headed out to LFS to look at the new fish they got in and noticed a Redtail Tamarin Wrasse. I heard that they are nearly imposable to keep in a reef aquarium. Does anyone own one of these in their aquarium at home? They are beautiful fish I would not be supervised if they were near impossible. Some info on link below.

iirc, MinibowMatt or bradleyj keeps these wrasses with success.

Oh great! I just added one this weekend. I obviously didn't research it enough before putting it in. Crap! Now I'm really concerned because I haven't seen it since yesterday. I put a yellow tailed one in too. I hope they make it! They aren't cheap.

You need alot of liverock and bugs, they forage thru the rocks all day long.

Well I have approx. 130 lbs of LR... That should be enough, right?
I'm worried about mine right now... I didn't see them today at all. Granted I wasn't home until 4:00, but for the remaining 4 hours my lights were on I didn't see them.
How sensitive to water perams and lighting are these fish?
