Dragon wrasse

XeniaGirl · 03-17-2008, 04:14 PM

I really really really want a dragon wrasse. I think they are the coolest fish EVER. But, I want to really do my research before I just buy one "because I want one."
I doubt that he's reef safe (I can't remember honestly) but I'm wanting to get another bigger tank, which I could essentially build around a dragon wrasse's parameters.
Those of you who have/have had one, what do you think? - things to know or avoid?
I appreciate it!

I have a client who has one. They are not reef safe they eat snails, small hermits and move your rock around. They are very cool though they can dive into the sand head first and hide. It looks crazy its like to them the sand is water.

they are cool looking fish as juvis and adults. Keep your lr secure and parms good and they do pretty well. Also they need a covered thanks because as with most other wrasses they are jumpers.
