Mystery Wrasse Aggressive?

[reefer333_]

I am thinking about adding Mystery Wrasse to the tank. Tank is 90 gallon (3x2x2) with current wrasse stock of yellow tali tamarin and blue star leopard (still female). They are already about 4-5 inches and they are peaceful and show no aggression among the two. The tank is pretty peaceful and no aggression, rare minimum chasing here and there. My concern is mystery wrasse aggression toward others when settle in. I search r2r and saw mixed reviews. Those of you who have kept Mystery Wrasse, can you share your tank size, your fish stock list and your experience with the wrasse? I know fish are individuals and every fish will be different, just want to get a sense of what other people experiences are.

Through my search, when ppl reported that mystery wrasse shows aggression, they were kept in the smaller tanks, but not sure whether there are many instances where they still show aggression when kept in a bit larger tanks.

I think it's individual to the tank. If you want one I would get one.

They are of the Pseudocheilinus genus which are a genus of wrasse that will stake out prime reef real estate much like damsel fish. They can become quite aggressive for that reason and are a wrasse I avoid.

They are not compatible with other wrasse unlike most reef safe wrasse and would not mix with the Anampses, tamarin or Macropharungodon, leopard you have. I would consider getting more of those genus or trying a pencil wrasse, fairy, or flasher wrasse.
