Thalassoma Wrasses

[Goodair]

Anyone have these long term? I'm looking to add one, either a Bluehead, Lyretail or Paddlefin. Can they get aggressive with fish like a tomani tang and harelquin tusk?

Absolutely would get aggressive. Active fish and will not do good with a tusk . I had banana wrasse and destroyed my tusk. U think it may stress out your tang also.ime

Thanks, I wasn't sure since sites say "last in tank" but that doesnt exactly mean they will not be dicks regardless!

Any recomendation on a genus that isnt super agro, but can live with a lion and eel?

How about the Halichoeres genus. melanurus get about 4 to 5 in and have some girth to them.they are beautiful fish.

I have a pencil wrasse that doesn't bother anyone. awesome looking fish. peep my video to see all the livestock with him

Eel is about 2 feet. Pencil wrasse will likely not work. I'll look into the halichoeres.
