Ornate Wrasse

[salisbury a d]

The store has one of these and it is very pretty.
I was wondering if it is suitable for a reef tank of 46 gallons.
He said it was NOT a dwarf wrasse. He said if I were to get it when it grows large and becomes a nusance I can trade it for more fish or coral.
Is this a good or bad choice?

don't know about being reef safe, but idon't like teh idea of 'borrowing fish', i feel we are adopting them, besides it is not that easy to take a fish back after you have had it for years, you will get hooked, if you stay in this hobby and take it seriously
besides moving the fish is stressful which can cause disease, so you should do it only as often as need be

All I could find on it was it is known as a
Ornate Wrasse. It gets to be about 6.7".

$22 for the ornate.
I am still debating to go with it or not.
