question about a Dragon Wrasse

[chadvwhite]

I am thinking about getting a dragon wrasse. i have large rocks i will probaly have to get some smaller ones for him to move around. How reef safe is this fish?

If you have any invertebrates like shrimp or hermit crabs, I wouldnt get one. Dragon wrasses tend to like eating them all. They also like to hide in the substrate and can possibly end up moving rocks and stuff.

Did you see that cool green one at Marine Fish as well? One of the employees there owned one and recommended me against it. I almost bought it seeing how I don't remember seeing any green fish reef safe fish in the trade; I guess I still haven't.

They are definitley not reefsafe.

There are a couple of green wrasses that are reef safe. The Seagrass wrasse is the first that comes to mind.

I almost bought it Sunday. I went home and looked the little guy up and found out he would not be a good match for me. He was great though. All neon green and happy. Marine and Fish has great stuff!
