Requirements for wrasses to change sex.

Hi,
I was wondering if I a fairy wrasse can change sex on its own (without another fairy wrasse present). I’d like this thread to also talk about how other types of wrasse can change sex!

Also, there's a big thread in the fish subforum where evolved gets into the nitty gritty about sex change in wrasses.

Can you link it? I haven’t been able to find it.

I am glad to find this thread as there are very knowledgeable wrasse experts here. I wanted to add 2 wrasse to a 300g tank with other fish that I know are compatible. However, I have a Yellow Candy Hogfish which is shown to be compatible with reefsafe wrasse based on a compatibility chart...
