Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus) Question.

[Quah]

Is the Mystery Wrasse as aggressive as the Six-Line? I should probably know this but do Pseudocheilinus sleep in the sand (I'm thinking they dont)?

I have a mystery that is a model citizen, but I hear they can turn on a dime. My mystery sleeps in the rocks.

They can be comparably aggressive as a sixline.

Pseudocheilinus species do not sleep in the sand.

Thanks for the info it'll be very helpful in making a decision on this fish. I do have some larger tangs but I also have some more passive fish.

I've had a couple over the years and they are hit and miss. They are on the aggressive side. The last one I bought was nice while small but then turned into a terror. It eat the dorsal fins off my Blue Line flasher and chased my other fairy wrasses. If your setting up a fish only you would be ok. I'll never take the chance again! Major pain to remove from reef tank:mad: JME

Mine is pretty territorial. Doesn't actually attack his tankmates but always puffing up and trying to warn them to move. Mine has created a little cave in the sand where he sleeps
