[mredwin25]

I got one in QT for about a month now, is this kind of wrasse the kind that is gonna eat the crabs and cleaner shrimps? I guess I should’ve asked before I got him but he’s so good looking

I would expect yes. They get to be about 12" in adulthood. We can ask our resident fish expert @eatbreakfast

IME they grow fast up until about 6”. After that they really slow down.
