lunar wrasse.... reef safe?

[supernareg]

i have a 2-3 inch lunar (lyretail) wrasse (which i got for 10 bux cause the guy from petco thought it was a cleaner wrasse haha)
and i threw it in my reef with my 2.5" lion. the wrasse immediately went into hiding.

but are they reef safe? live aquaria says NOT reef safe, but in the description says they DO NOT eat corals / live plants.

i dont think they do... anyone have any experience? will it eat my small hermits / snails?

will it harass my lion?

theyll eat the inverts unless you get lucky.

Taken from that site: "Its natural diet consists of fish, crustaceans, motile invertebrates, and worms." so you snails, shrimp, urchins are lunch.

Just because it's cheap does't mean it's good for your reef...those guys are known for devouring inverts.

Luna wrasse will flip your rock, corals to look for shrimp. My friend used to have one in my reef tank, he wiped out all the cleaner shrimp, will his ric and couple other thing.
