Dragon wrasse ?

Wil this work in a 55 ? Does it play well with others?

Cool fish, but as it matures he's very blah IMO. 55 might be too small I think. They also need dsb cause they like to dig into sand to hide out. They getting fairly big 6" or so. I'd be careful with smaller fish.

Would it work in a reef tank ?

Not a good idea for reef. When it gets bigger it will eat everything that moves. Snails, fish, shrimp, inverts.. Anything it can fit in its mouth.

Poop, that stinks. What's a good fish for a 55 ?

I was also gonna get a dragon wrasse the other day. lol But after researching it I decided against it. Thyey get kinda ugly when they get big and from what I've read they have eating issues when first going in a tank. My friends have one and all it does is hide under the sand.

Fish that do that are no fun.

Perhaps not the best for a reef tank, considering that when they get bigger they do this:
