Definately looks like a lunare wrass (thallasoma lunare) spelling?. reef safe, but grows large and will eat inverts like shrimp, crabs, etc. Also potential to be a jumper. Fast buggers. I got one of these guys when I first entered the hobby and it grew from 2 to 6 inches in about 6 months.

Yeah after seeing them in the wild i wouldn't ever advise anyone put one in a tank at all. They are so fast and can swim so far.

Very beligerent and aggressive when not getting a GOOD amount of food daily too.

Definitely not something I consider reef-safe.

Definitely NOT REEF SAFE (IMO) I had one that ate like a pig, requiring weekly water changes, but everything I read said that they only bother shrimp....NOT, I had zoo's in my tank and it never bothered the larger ones but the bugger went crazy one day while I was at work and pulled 1/3 of the small zoos off of the rock, some he ate, some he just spit out like it was a game. Luckily my son has a Aggressive FOWLR tank and he took him before I filleted him...I'll take him back when I get my FOWLR tank running here, but NO MORE WRASSE IN A REEF TANK....
