Mystery Wrasse advice

[kacey louis]

Hi all. My first post, don’t really know what I’m doing haha
So: I want to add a Mystery Wrasse to my reef...but want to make sure it’s a wise choice. We had one briefly a few years back but it was fully grown when we got it and the tank was too small...it was extremely aggressive and killed our Canary Wrasse.
Current setup: AR300 softie reef. Fish; adult male canary wrasse (currently dominant), Flameback Angel, royal gramma, blue spotted pufferfish, long-nosed hawkfish. (Also planning to add a decora goby shortly and some gold line cardinals) . Is my tank big enough for the mystery to be happy? Will a mystery wrasse become aggressive to the canary with time (planning in a juvenile mystery)? TIA
What are other people’s experiences with this very beautiful species?

Welcome!

What's an AR300? Dimensions of the tank?

Did you get your Mystery Wrasse?

You sound like you would have a good set up far a Mystery Wrasse. In my experience with Mystery Wrasse if your not first your last.
anything before should be ok anything after he is going to be a jerk. And if you have a a CUC, snails and crabs, say bye, bye to them.
If I were you, I would get him.
Good Luck
