I Have a 16G tall QT running with a Linespot Flasher (about 3 inches). I just got him 3 days ago and have done no treatment of any kind yet. He is eating and is out and about after 2 days of hiding...
Yesterday I had the opportunity to pick up an established (3years) leopard (Macropharyngodon ornatus) from a fellow reefer for a steal.

I put the Leopard in an acclimatization box in the QT last night and he is eating and swimming this morning! I put a bunch of Macro that I got from the same reefer in with it for something to hide in. The macro was covered in red flat worms....

I am not sure how to go about QTing these guys.
I have read that wrasses don;t do well with CP and I have never run copper before.
I have 2x 10 G tanks that I could do TTM with but will these 2 guys be able to do it together?

Any suggestions please? Should I go ahead and dose PraziPro for now?

I prefer TTM for all new acqusitions. You should be able to do the two fish together, although the leopard wrasse needs a sandbed to sleep in. You can place sand in a tupperware container and throw it out after each transfer (replacing with clean sand).

So you think they ought to get along well enough in a 10G. They are getting to check each other out with the acclimatization box right now...
