Radiant Wrasse

[aquaph8]

Looking for some general info:
Temperment?
OK with flashers/fairies generally?
Shrimp and invert safe?
any other info and pics are always appreciated.
thanks

I started a thread a few months ago regarding the same fish and the consensus was, they'll eat inverts but are peaceful with fish.

Ive now got a melanurus wrasse which is also a halichoeres wrasse, and it does indeed eat inverts but is great with other fish. (no fairies/flashers but Ive got a leopard wrasse and they swim together most of the day)

Thanks for your reply. I think I'm gonna pull my shrimp cause there's just too many fish I want that aren't shrimp safe. Anyone keep Halichoeres with fairy's?

my radiant does not bother cleaners/fire/coral bandeds, but has probably knocked out a small peppermint shrimp or two. he does like to pick at small hermits and nassarius(loves these ones) snails though. oh and i have several other wrasse and there are no problems.

If you're able to "pull your shrimp" you're a heckuva lot more talented than I!:beer:
