I guess 6 line wrasses are hard sleepers
« on: January 04, 2010, 20:23:37 »
So before heading out for work in the mornings, I always check on the tank.  This morning looking around with my flashlight, I see the tail of my six line sticking out next to my anenome (not it it, just next to it........yes the same one thay my copperband got into).   The tail had a little curl to it, and his head was burried in a crevis.....and yes there was the typical snail slime around.  For sure he was dead.

So I grabbed my forceps and went to fish him out.......he wiggled away somewhere.  This evening getting home from work.  He is swimming around happy as can be.   I'm not sure where he normally sleeps at night, but it's not there.

Sit... Stay... PLAY DEAD BOY!

I had a clownfish do the same thing against the same rock every night... Creepy.

I have a snail doing the same sort of thing.  I don't think he's sleeping though...  :(

I have a tang that sleeps head first in rockwork, right into a return on my closed loop. I have no idea how he sleeps there.

My Blue Hip Tang sleeps on is side between two rocks.  The odd thing in this case is that he was pretty much out in the open, and by the anenome.   I have recently changed water flow patterns in the tank with my new Ecotech Marine MP40, so I wonder if he got blown there.
