ohhhh, okay now that's a different story. two of the same genus and thalassoma are generally the large aggressive members of family labridae... T. luescens and T. lunare are no exceptions. I would be very hesitant to add two thalassoma wrasses in a tank less than 300g. I would imagine it would be even worse between these two because they are similarly coloured species as well. Since the lunare has been your dream fish since the start... maybe it's time to get rid of the T. lutescens? your call in the end, but I think you're going to have to sacrafice one; can't have both, not in the same tank.
btw, got pics? i love thalassoma wrasses even if I don't have the tank to house them. they are gorgeous fish indeed.

I have a mystery wrasse and a red fairy wrasse in my 72. It is interesting. Definite bad
idea in my case the mystery is bossy towards the fairy, who was in first. But she is very fast and is smaller so can hide quickly. Whenever I hear water sloshing I know exactly whats up. This is of course worse at feeding time but it is on going. And I would love to get one or the other out. Also had a four line and it was a holy terror to anyone and everything I tried adding. Needless to say I no longer own the fourline. My experience with wrasse's say's no more, no how, no matter what. I do love my red fairy though. Anyone want a mystery wrasse free just need to catch him.LOL

All I have is an iPhone and I need something really fast to get this guy without a blurry picture, but here's what I have and it's the best I can do.
  I have some things to think about now, thanks for the info... Last edited by my2rotties; 03-20-2009 at 05:10 PM.

I like him if he would only stay still for a second for pictures. He turns from green to blue on his body. I guess today he decided to go green for awhile. Really awesome fish, very busy and in my face.

Hi Anthony. I bought him on Canreef for $20!!! He is an awesome and stunning fish. He was sold as a solar wrasse so I didn't get what I expected but I love him none the less. I thought he was the fish I want to get now as an addition. I have never seen one anywhere to date...
If you could catch him I would almost challenge to try to get him out without destroying my tank, and I think your chances still would be slim to none. Quote:

Those who keep multiple species of wrasses in a single tank do so carefully. Many wrasses will coexist just fine. Fairy and flasher wrasses mostly. Genus halichoeres is especially peaceful. just keep in mind that coexisting wrasses is complicated and always requires close research; even within genera, some species will kill/beat each other (just look at Leah's situation). the reef fish section on RC is wonderful since there's a few reef-safe wrasse FANATICS over there. specific questions regarding the peaceful wrasses will be answered most correctly there. Thalassoma do not fall into this category; like i said, they're the big beaters of family Labridae.

Hahaa, I hope they work it out alright. I love the banana man, even though he can be a little nippy towards things that pop out at him... I had no idea how hard they are to come across...you have first dibs but i laugh at thinking of getting him out. He is the fastest fish on my reef by a long shot.
