[ah^siao]

are all wrasse reef safe?

i just bought a 6 line wrasse...

saw a yellow tail spotted wrasse.. is it reef safe?

not sure abt the yellow tail one.. but read before on the 6 line wrasse that it is reef safe right?

can someone confirm this?

[seamonkee]

six line wrasse are reef safe...

As for the yellow tail one... is it like this?

If so, then they are known as lyretail wrasse.. this one is not reef safe...

should be safe..6 line wrasse eats bristleworms...althou i had one last time which liked to pick at the eyes of my cleaner shrimp. Might be an isolated case though..i always have the luck of buying psychotic fish.

Not really... even big six line might attack smaller crustacean

Seamonkee is right. The later one is best avoided.

All wrasses belong to the parrot fish family. Midget-size ones are generally safe and they don't outgrow. The one in pic can grow up to length of a foot.

You may want to know that a shoal of 100+ parrot fishes can wipe out half football field size coral patch in an hr. The fishes gnaw at the corals for calciums.

are u sure its a wrasse

Personally, I would not keep wrasse regardless of whether it is reef safe or not.

It has the habit of kicking up the sandbed and clouding the whole tank. Moreover, they will kick sand into corals that are lying on the sand bed.

i'm quite sure it's a wrasse...

Reef not sure...but difinitely not shrimp safe, they love shrimp's eyes...and if you wana remove then beside searching your rocks, you have to seach your sand bed as well....cos they are REAL good Diggers....
