wrasse question

[Bulldog0407]

Can I put a mystery wrasse together with a solar/clown fairy wrasse?

 

[joe1584]

i would think it would be a problem

 

[ostrow]

Absolutely, it will not be a problem. Good combo!

 

[Bulldog0407]

Are mystery wrasse reef safe. I mean they won't eat my corals and inverts will they?

 

[ostrow]

Entirely safe.

Mine took out snails, but I think they are hit or miss.

i used to have a mystery wrasse, he was kinda aggressive. most wrasse can mix but there might eventually be problems, also depends on their personalities imo.
most wrasse are a potential threat to inverts too, if they get hungry.

What size is your tank again Ryan ???

I was going to get a Mystery, but have heard of quite a few of them that turn into total jerks as they get bigger, even taking out CUC and small shrimp....

i have both, if you can get a small mystery wrasse. They will eat your shrimp, mine did. Expensive lesson. You need to remember mystery's are always hungry, always search for food. Also older/ larger they get will possible bother other tank mates.

says reef safe, but then you read this...

"When full grown, mature Mystery Wrasse may take a liking to smaller ornamental shrimp that are introduced after the wrasse is established in the reef aquarium."

I won't call out individuals that feel that the mystery wrasse is safe for shrimp... you know who you are, but you are giving bad advice. I love my mystery, but he is a shrimp muncher. No doubt about it.

I think it would be safe,just stay away from any coris wrasse,they get overly agressive,have the green ones and they are something else.
