Cuban hogfish and leopard wrasse

[RJT]

I have cuban hogfish in qt and divided leopard wrasse. I have had Spanish hogfish and leopards without a problem, but not a cuban hogfish. I plan to get more leopards and don't want any issues. Does anyone have experience with Cuban hogfish and leopards?

Most hogs will eventually become aggressive and start to kill off smaller more peaceful relatives. Spanish and Cuban Hogs are no exceptions, you may have only had luck with Spanish Hogs and Wrasses due to the hog being a juvenile/young female and not yet gaining that aggression.
I recommend either sticking to aggressive wrasses and not getting any Leopards or small reef safe wrasses or you stick to small reef safe wrasses that remain peaceful and remove the hogfish.

Thank you. I don't want luck to decide if my tank is peaceful. I may have had 2 different Spanish hogs that were peaceful but I don't want the risk nor the hassle of having to take get the cuban out the dt. I had that experience with neon wrasses that became a terror.
