Hi everyone
Following Randy observation I made a search for Halichoeres trispilus colour morphs and ended up finding that there seems to be a mistake in the identification such as Randy mentions, have a look here and here and here ...well here is an example of how good it is to share information
...any way Halichoeres genus is reputed to eat flat worms, perhaps some species are more effective in that task, more gluttonus for flat worms:tongue1: than others, but still a possible good approach to control flat worms and a beautiful fish to keep. Over here on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, we resort to this fish many times for that purpose. Also Scott W. Michael in is Marine Fishs Guide Book ISBN 1-890087-38-6 mentions this charateristic of Halichoeres genus fishes in pages 294 and 295 which extends also to the dreaded pyramidellid snails that attack tridacid clams
CHEMCHEF I cross fingers for your wrasse to show up.
Cheers
Pedro Nuno ;-)

As for jumping I took a good look around the tank a couple of hundred times(NO IM NOT OBSESSED)
My wife swears she saw him a few days ago, so I hope she is right.
I'll keep you all posted
Your wife just might be right. When mine were hiding out my Yellow Coris (H. chyrus) did come out of the sand for a few seconds every now & then and went right straight back in, so you never know! Do you possibly have another fish in there that might be intimidating the wrasse?
Sorry about the jack Nanchil!
