I am looking at getting one of these. what setup would you recomend. I will most likely due a fish only as they tend to eat the reef cleaners. Any info would be great.

They don't get very big, right around 5" though people say they are aggressive fish, they aren't really if you have fish in the tank that are bigger that it. So you wouldn't want to get a six line wrasse, which would become food. They can eat fish up to 1/2 their own body size. They can be hard to start eating and will have to be weened off live food in most cases, but you can simmulate live food with a feeder stick.

Good luck if you decide to get one, we had one an we could not get him to eat anything. He hid out under a rock and would not come out. They are very beautiful fish, sad to say ours eventually died, like I said we could not get him to eat... Best of luck to you and I hope you have better luck. Later Lisa
