Will a 4 inch melanurus wrasse get along in this set up?

[Makubex]

125 with locks of caves and:

4" blue hippo
4" sailfin tang
3.5" purple tang(might rehome him)
3.25" picasso triggerfish
7" foxface one spot
A pair of clowns

I think so, I’d keep the purple and rehome the sailfin. Just me. I have mine in a smaller set up w a YT and other anthias and flamehawk and bossy big Starkii

It will get along with them just fine. I have had several and they are easy going fish. They will eat small shrimp.

The purple has hhle from prev owner so i dont really like him plus he killed a coral beauty angel

 

[Shibaken3]

should be fine

I agree with above .
keep the purple unless you have reasons to why you choose to rehome him

I agree with above with the sailfin

I think the Picasso trigger may bother/kill the Melanurus

Its ignoring it for now The wrasse is 80% submerged in the crushed coral

You may want to provide finer deeper sand rather than roughy coarse coral. I guess that is why he cannot get completely under the sand. That got to be stressful for him.

He went in deeper I saw him, I might lose track where he is now

Didnt make it, his tail is gone, he can barely swim, who could've been-i dont know, $75 wasted, all were well fed, etc. I blame the triggerfish but I have 0% proof

 

[Makubex]

What a bunch of bs, seriously..!!!!!!!! Not even 8 hours had passed since I checked on him, he was in a tiny space with his fins doing okay, and now all gone!!!!!, I was gonna install a tiny camera to monitor them but i didnt, I cant even get a suspect here as I coudnt even see a single chase, just his 4" body floating around breathing ultra mega fast

 

[Makubex]

If i just knew who did it id be giving it away for free at the moment. Thats how disappointed I am right now poor guy

 

[dstockwell]

WOW, really insane is was that fast

 

[Jared Bryant]

He was probably injured from the crushed coral. They need semi fine sand to burrow when scared and sleeping. Sorry

Maybe 7 hours, but my purple tang killed a coral angel before in 6-7 hours, it was beat up but swimming and eating then poof gone

No his tail is gone dude... even his body, it looks like a piranha's meal that hasnt been finished

$75 wasted and a wrasse to the graveyard. I wonder which is worse Most burrowing wrasses need fine sand. It sounds like the poor thing got its fins chewed off because it couldn't completely burrow in to substrate.

"The wrasse is 80% submerged in the crushed coral"

Picasso triggers are some mean SOBs. I had one 3 inches long that would defend nori against a large purple tang, naso and a much larger niger trigger and all other fish. They remind of Pitbull's. Awesome pets that do not play well with others.
