Mystery wrasse?

[120reefermadnes]

How are the mystery wrasse aggresion wise long term?

Do you recomend for a sps reef with comunity fish?

How do those of you who have had one for a while like them?

Any regrets?

In my personal experience mine was rather peaceful with other fish, but I didn't have it terribly long. Most people say that as they get larger they get more aggressive. That being said I would probably get another one someday, they're a unique looking fish with a good personality IMO.

Thanks

Anyone with long term expiriance with them staying peaceful?

I had mine for several years. It wasn't aggressive toward my other fish, but it did eat shrimp.

Like blood shrimp?

Yep. Mine coexisted with cleaner shrimp for a year or two before figuring out that they were food.

Yeah, they'll eat any shrimp they can find once they get large enough. And also at that size they are, for all intended purposes, incompatible with other wrasses. They can get aggressive towards other fish as well, but to what degree will depend on the other fish and the size of your tank.

Mine was aggressive at first, 2 years later its the most docile fish it the tank
Even my leopard chase it.
