Rainbow Wrasse (Halichoeres Pictus)

It is a 4.5" wrasse, as it matures it gets quite colorful. It may go after inverts as it grows, but it may not as well. Relatively peaceful, though individual experiences vary.
 
I looked at one on DD but they said 7" maximum size. Is that an error on their part eatbreakfast?

More likely an error on my part, I used fishbase as a reference. On that site it listed its max size as 13cm, whereas upon further investigation, diving references list it as 7".

Yeah I used fishbase as reference as well, was hoping to get first hand experience with it because, well there is almost no information on it.
 
Dang I was hoping they didn't get that big. They would be a different wrasse that you don't see in most tanks. That's a little larger than I think would be comfortable in my tank.
