thalassoma quinquevittatum In an LPS reef?

[gsiegel]

300 gallon mixed reef but mostly LPS euphelia and nems. Several fish invludong tangs, anthias, wrasses- lineatus, harlequin tusk, mystery, and angels- goldflake, coral beauty, bellus

I have heard that these fish can be aggressive but thoughts in this size tank with these other fish? I am going to be adding a flame wrasse pair soon as well

Thx- Gorgeous fish and would love to add him but concerned about aggression.

In addition to the (probable) aggression issues, any shrimps or crabs might become snacks. With what you have already, I think it will otherwise be ok.

I wouldn't put T. quinquevittatum in anything but a predator tank or FOWLR with larger fish.

The flame wrasse pair is a much better choice for your tank.

Thanks. Going to play it safe

That looks like the fish I added to my tank back in the 80's and it was a predator tank, it and a dog pace puffer were picking off one fish at a time and eating them, he got the long skewrer and a flush. Like other stated avoid that fish.
I think the Harlequin probably took care of the inverts small snails, crabs and cleaner shrimp, like mine did. My wife named him the shrimp killer.
