Dragon Wrasse

[jmike50]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any experiene wit these wrasse? Someone told me they had a lot of attitude. The tank mates would be a ****** trigger, blue spot puffer and a lrg. clarkii clown in a 75 gal. tank. Thanks for all input in advance. Mike:fish:

i dont have any personal experience with them but i did a good bit of research cause i was considering getting one a while back and i think those would be pretty good tank mates for it. just make sure you have all the small rocks that you dont want moved because they love to re arrange tanks.

I just wanted to make sure it would get along especially with the trigger. I don't think he will be able to pu these big rocks...lol

Hey Mike, for future reference: only one "G" in Niger Trigger. Completely different sound, and certainly something that you wouldn't want to mispronounce.

They wont eat coral at all. They will go after crabs, shrimp, and clean up crew, though. But they are coral safe.

That is the potential issue. Just turning over rocks looking for small inverts to eat. But no danger to corals themselves.

The term "reef safe" needs to be abolished, as it has no definite meaning, and is subject to so many interpretations.

But, to answer the question, it should easily be able to hold it's own.
