Yes or No to Hi-fin Fairy Wrasse

[skyedale]

Bought a stunning Hi-Fin Fairy Wrasse on Saturday. It had just arrived on Wed. so the LFS is going to keep it for two weeks to make sure it is doing well.

A fairt wrasse was on my "œwanted" fish list for my 35 GL reef tank.

The other fish in the tank are 2 - blue/Green Chromis, 1- Lawnmower Blenny and 1 sm Royal Gramma.

If there are any issues with a Fairy Wrasse and coral and my other fish please let me know.

All the reading saws it will be fine, but I have yet to meet a coral or fish that reads the books.

This increases the odds of it contracting a parasite

Reef safe, but aggressive especially in a small tank such as yours.

If 'Hi-Fin' is actually 'whip fin' fairy wrasse, they are aggressive and you should wait for another type of wrasse...
As already stated...the less time in LFS tanks the better...

Agreed if hi-fin is C. filamentosus it should be avoided. If it is C. rubriventralis or joanallenae it should be fine.
