Hi all,

Can someone please ID this fish please? Is this a type of wrasse and is it reef safe?

Surge wrasse, Thalassoma purpureum. Won't eat corals but gets big and nasty and will eat shrimp, small fish, tubeworms and small echinoderms.

Meh, I like wrasses. Got 6 species at the moment and they're all cool. Active and lots of character, even when they're being naughty.

Not a scientist, just a fish geek/catcher for 16 years. Was my second career choice though... :whistling:
