slippery ---- wrasse

[killersnake0]

hey I am looking for some more info on the slippery ---- wrasse(Halichoeres bivittatus). I have had one in my fish only tank now for about 2 years and was wondering if any one could give me some more info on him thx.

hahah autoedit
no clue on the fish though, just had to giggle about the edit. i'm surprised they let the middle of "wrasse" get passed the editor

If you've had him two years; I guess you're the authority! I really don't know; but this almost looks like it could be the dreaded false cleaner wrasse.

sorry I am just trying to find out if it is safe with coral

looks like they are invert eaters, which would explain your algae/diatoms
