bodianus mesothorax

[barracuda]

Does anyone have any info on this fish? Or has anyone kept one and have any insight into its behavior, like is it aggresive to other fish or will it wipe out my crab or snail population? Any info at all would be nice! thanks in advance!

Never kept one myself but hogfish in general are not wise reef additions. Once they mature, just about all mobile inverts are fair game.
