[bigfish420]

is the lunar wrass good to keep in a reef thank with lots of coral or are they aggressive?

aggressive. Perfectly fine with corals. will eat inverts and tourment lessor fish (which is almost everything not on top of the aquarium food chain).

reef-safe. very bold and fast bc i hv one in my fowlr. will eat snails and hermits.

and dont ever try and catch one.. WASTE OF TIME!!!
I had an 8" one in my 180 and he was a great fish.. Not aggressive with other fish but liked to smash snails and crabs into the glass for fun..

I would strongly discourage keeping in a reef. Can be very aggressive towards other fish, smaller or not.

I agree with ophiura. Very very aggrrssive fish!

I spent about 5 hours trying to get one out my 150. Not possible with nets. Super aggressive fish. Kind of hoping one of my lions eats it.

The one I am particularly familiar with was in a couple of thousand gal fish only and it would methodically attack and eat the eyes out of any yellow tang put in the tank.
