Ornate Wrasse reef safe?

[Beckmola24]

Title says it all. Is the Halichoeres ornatissimus or Ornate Wrasse reef safe? Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes it is absolutly safe.

I've only seen them for sale on vivid aquariums... Does anyone have any other places that these guys are sold? I think they are really pretty and aren't TOO expensive like some of the fairy wrasses.

I located one locally, and was wondering if this would be a good buy. Are they a good fish to keep? Are they hard to come by? I don't think I've ever seen one before in any of my LFS. They're not too expensive and I have a deep enough sand bed for one.

They are a wonderful specimen and adapt well to frozen foods.

Though may go after motile inverts, so not completely reef safe.
