    has anyone tried to catch a red coris wrasse in a reef? he was fine in the reef until he started to look under rocks for food by flipping the rock over. as he got older he would flip larger rocks so i had to make sure everything was fastened down well or the corals would suffer. later on i attempted to raise some clams he didnt try to hurt them but kept on turning them over looking for food. today i started at 800 am working on catching him started by moving as many coral as possible to the 120 gallon then filled another container with water and moved the rest of the coral and rockwork. then removed most of the rest of the 250 gallons of water out to another reservoir. i wanted to remove the rest of the sand from main display anyway. sump carefully doing that while looking for him because he had buried himself. ok have him and relocated to the 400 gallon softie reef now to reassemble the entire reef. seems like alot for one day, praying that everything will be ok with fish compatability and the corals amen

    Everything I have read says not reef safe so I have never tried one. Green and yellows I have though.

    yes i love them and i knew was not reef safe completely and i attempted to accommodate him by fastening everything down as best as i could but he needs sand and i was removing the sand anyway. well now he is doing fine in the 400.and everything is ok in the 250 also. tired though
