Info On Scotts Fairy Wrasse ( Tank Size)

[hondo]

I just noticed a online retailer has this fish on sale for $44 and have always wanted one. The website claims a 30gal tank or larger is OK for them (even though they get to 5"). I have a 37 reef tank with almost no bioload and was wondering if this tank was suitable for this fish. Can anyone else back up whether or not a 30+gal tank is fine for this fish.

I would say no. For a fish that gets to be 5 inches seems a bit large for a 30g to me. According to Marine Fishes, by Scott W Micheal , the minimum aquarium size is a 55 gallon.
