so im thinking of adding one of these beautiful fish to my 60g mixed reef...anyone have any experience with them, good or bad?

saw him eat frozens at the LFS and its fins were perfect.

I just got one a couple weeks ago, it was eating flake food immediately. Very active, swims throughout the tank and a peaceful tankmate so far. I have observed him eyeing the water surface so I added some mesh to cover open areas to protect my investment. I would def recommend one, plus, like you said, they look pretty rad.

I've had mine a few weeks also. It ate from day one, I feed Rods Reef, Marine Supreme, and Mysis (alternating) and it has taken to all of it. I did have a problem that my Royal Gramma was picking on it but that has subsided.

Great fish(until I found him on the floor). Mine(on the larger side) ate all my peppermint shrimp, never touched the cleaner shrimp.

Mine eats like a pig, including any shrimp, if you want to keep ornamental shrimp stay away.

Had a pair and loved them, they ate everything.
I don't keep ornamental shrimps.

I've had one now for about 4 years, no problems. Like many wrasses they can be good jumpers. Expensive fish for carpet surfing.
