beautiful fish....unfortunately practically impossible to keep.
dom from diamond of the reef is the only one i have seen who got it to eat.....until i bought it from him and killed it in 3-4 weeks. i have had a couple of blue streak cleaner wrasses that lived over 4+ yrs. so i do have a little bit of experience with cleaner wrasses.
i have yet to see anyone kept one of those guys for more than a couple of months. please do reconsider.

I bought it from my friend, he ordered it for me and he thinks it might be a new breed but looks the same, I had it for about 4 months now and I first started seeing it eating mysis only, then after two weeks it started going for flakes and recently it picks at pellets, I have a 43 gal cube column 20x18x28, two power heads, 2 Sanjay midnight photon clowns, 2 fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp, starry Blenny, two watchman goby, mandarin, two yellow tail damsels, 3 bangaii cardinal, 1 pajama cardinal .. It does pick at fish scales once and a whole and I did add feeder shrimp only once, that's about it, I took a chance with it and it worked
