Mystery wrasses

[Kies1]

Anyone with any experience with one of these. Just lost my timor wrasse and have always wanted one. Would be going in a mixed reef.

General consensus is that they're reef safe as far as corals go but they do sometimes eat smaller shrimp and invertes. I've also heard they can be somewhat aggressive towards fairy/ flasher wrasses as they get bigger.

^ Pretty much.

Not to be mixed with other wrasses, and will go after shrimp once mature.

I've had one in my reef for few years now. Extremely peaceful with all other fish (anthias, cardinals, clowns), although I do not have any other wrasses. Has not bothered my cleaner shrimp or hermits so far.

I've had one for about 4 years. Peaceful, but likes to stalk my purple firefish in a rather peripatetic manner; halfhearted, not really serious. My cleaner shrimp and peppermints all disappear one by one.
