I just was wondering what the minimum tank size would be for a Thallosoma Lunare and other useful information about them. Thanks

Correct spelling may help with your research, Thalassoma lunare
Beautifull animals but get pretty big and aggressive with age.

Unless of course youre adding it to a tank with fish that are more aggressive than even IT is...case in point...
Today I was rearranging tanks at work (work at LFS) and decided that the Lunare Wrasse could hold his own in a tank with an Undulated Trigger...figured that the wrasse was mean enough and fast enough to survive...WRONG ANSWER. I even attempted this by taking them out of their seperate homes and putting them in their 'new' digs at the same time. It took all of about 2 mins for the trigger to take serious chunks out of the wrasse...had to take it back out and house alone. He wasnt looking good when I left work, hope he makes it.
