I agreed to babysit my friends lunare wrasse until they moved into their new house. I am keeping him in my 10g quarantine tank because it would be impossible to get him back out of my 75 reef. It has been a little longer than expected but has been great with my fish I kept in there. I kept my 2 small false percs and 3" Achilles in there until I was satisfied they were healthy. Even when eating or when they come near him "bed", he never bothers them. I think he's a great fish. My friend keeps him in a 55g fowlr because he kept eating all the snails, crabs, and shrimp.

I love my lunare. Had him about 3 weeks now. Very rarely stops swimming. He looks like a pinball at feeding time. All over the tank. Never bothered anything in my tank and nothing bothers him. Here he is.

I read they get to 10" and need at least an 80 gallon tank. Another of mine with a picasso trigger.

i got a lunare wrasse, he is 8" at the moment, but he is not agressive to any of my fish at all, but he does make you buy more food than the other usual fish.
he is doing fine with all of my fish,but he eats all my snails.
I have ...
2 clown fish
1 blue damsel
2 green chromis
1 3 striped damsel
1 fire hawk fish
1 pincushion urchin
1 weird fish like called a swordfish or something.
1 lunare wrasse.
Not agressive at all. but he is active.

Commonly also called the "lunatic wrasse." I don't necessarily think they would mess with those fish but I wouldn't put them, IMO, in anything under a 125 to start. My experience with one was having one that instantly and always immediately ate the eyes out of any yellow tang put it with him. In one night I think it nailed a good half dozen that were put in with him.

I've had my lunar wrasse about a year. He lived in harmony with my 8" harliqiun tusk. Till he grew big enough to kill him. Other than that he doesn't bother my triggers, tangs or puffer. He just won't stop swimming. He's not a relaxing fish to watch. He's all over the tank at break neck speed. I like his colors but damn he's gotta slow down! He'll out eat everything. He's fast.
