I was looking at getting one of these fish for my new reef tank and saw on Liveaquaria that Halichoeres chrysus are grouped with fish only wrasses. I thought that was a reef safe wrasse, what do you guys think?
I think they do that because its possible that a large one may take on small shrimp and other inverts. I have one and its been no trouble. Note that your tank must be covered or it will end up on the floor!
Halichoeres chrysus is considered reef safe with caution, as they can eat small snails and ornamental shrimp. They won't touch corals though, at least IME. And mine don't eat shrimp either (although my shrimp were established long before introducing the wrasse).
