Bodianus pulchellus

I'm just curious if anybody has kept one of these with peaceful fish. I've got a Radiant wrasse (H. iridis) in a 300 gallon and curious if I could add this hogfish.

If they aren't similarly sized, I don't see a problem. It would be better if the Radiant Wrasse was smaller, as it would have more of a tendency to be aggressive. Just in case, I think the Cuban Hog is not considered reefsafe.

The radiant wrasse is not aggressive in the slightest. I'm more worried about the hogfish picking on the radiant wrasse. I usually see the hogs for sale at around 6" or so.

FWIW the radiant is about 5" long. There is also a solar fairy wrasse about 2.5" long too.

..and it's a fish only tank

they will be fine together, 300 gal. is plenty of room for both
