Has anyone ever had a spotted sweetlips? How are they? They do well together? How big do they get? Are they aggressive.

Yes, yes ,yes and yes. Ha! They get get real huge and ugly too. They loose their cool colors and just get ugly. They are aggressive as they will eat about anything when they get bigger. IMO, it's a fish to avoid. Just my thoughts.

I would just avoid it as well. It gets too big and most people do not have the tank for them.

They grow to almost 3 feet.

I agree, and about becoming, uh, less attractive down the road. But all this is based on one assumption:
If they survive the first few months
...which many, many don't.
Definitely one to leave in the ocean.
