Jade green wrasse HALICHOERES CHLOROPTERUS

Hi all,

Does anyone have one of these wrasses and do they play nice in a reef tank.

I’ve been told they can be nasty but thought I’d ask here.
Cheers

Sometimes called the green "coris." Here is the fishbase link https://www.fishbase.se/summary/4859

They actually get a little big, ugly, and mean. H. chrysus is a better alternative.

Thank you for confirming what I heard. I already have a canary wrasse and wanted to get some new wrasses and saw this.

I’ll stick with the friendly fairy, flashers and McCosker oh and Lubbock’s

They are quite attractive as small juvies.....they are very large, butt ugly and meaner than a snake as adults. I would pass.
