Does anyone have experiences of keeping this Wrasse?

Thanks

Not often seen, until recently. My wholesalers got a huge influx of them. Part of me wants to grab one cuz of rarity, but they aren't all that spectacular looking.
I would assume it's like most other fairy wrasse husbandry.

Slightly on the aggressive side. Otherwise, similar.

Yeah I've never seen them before here in the UK, I reserved myself a pair earlier today at my LFS so will see how they fair soon enough.

Actually, they are a sister species to balteatus, which are less aggressive than most fairy wrasses, so that should hold true for katherinae as well.
