I want to purchase of lyre tail wrasse but i have read online that they can be aggressive towards smaller fish and invertebrates. I have a 180 gallon fish tank and 10 medium sized fish like clownfish, firefish, cardinals, chromis and a yellow tang. has anyone ever had a lyre tail wrasse that behaved and was not aggressive ?

I have had many over the years. You should be ok, only thing i will suggest is adding as many as you want at the same time. These guys are very very aggressive towards each other once they get established. They literally lock mouths and do a death spin.

thank you for the advice guys! I got it and as of right now it is just swimming trough the rocks and doesn't seem to be bothering anybody.
