Red Sea Cleaner Wrasse

Is this Red Sea Cleaner Wrasse (Larabicus quadrilineatus) an adult?

Cheers

If he's not eating your hammer coral yet, I'd say no Matt!

What size is it?

Mines going back to the LFS when I can catch him - destroyed a hammer coral in two days, never touched any softies in six months and still eats any foods offered.

My hammer coral died a while back, but it was because it was knocked of the rock by a turbo snail. It landed on its heads and didn't open up again. The RSCW is about 1.5".

My red sea cleaner wrasse is about 15-20cm long so I'd guess yours has a fair bit of growing to to. I know mine is at least 2 and a half years old.

Must be a serious beast then sianeds cos peteuducation.com (see link on my earlier post) say they only get to 5 inches (12/13 cm)?

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

 

[Matty P]

OK thanks for the replies guys

I just tried to get a more accurate measurement (not easy)

I reckon my wrasse is 12cm Ok I overestimated a little
