Dragon and Lunar wrasse?
Curious to know if dragon and lunar can be housed together. I currently have a 2.5-3" juv. dragon wrasse. Friend wants his 5" lunar gone and I have first dibs on it. Both will be in a 55 with a small picasso and small valentini till I upgrade this spring/summer. Will the lunar pick on my dragon? Oh and hello all, thanks for your input in advance.

Hi and welcome to canreef!
I would be cautious about the lunar jumping as when they get bigger there will be agression towards each other, from what I hear the dragon wrasse can be pretty mean when it gets larger probally not to the trigger but the lunar is a known carpet surfing wrasse. You may chance it and see what happens but I would keep a close eye on both fishes and ofcourse the most important thing is keeping a lid on your tank.

I had both for a bit (almost 2/3 a year) but in my case I put the dragon wrasse in second.
In the end the dragon did the carpet surfing thing, so I would recommend a cover. I never saw either wrasse attack one another, but I did have a fowlr tank going, so there were plenty of aggressive fish that could have been the guilty party.

a cover is a must for any wrasse imo. the lunare is a tough wrasse that can be mean, but the dragon has a reputation for being one of the meanest of all. and it over a foot long. what are you upgrading to? youll need a very big tank if you're really adamant about keeping both these guys long term. I would also consider getting rid of that valentini.

Well I'm not to worried about carpet surfers as all my tanks have great fitting lids. I don't absolutley have to have the lunar but if it and the dragon would be ok togther then I figure why not. My future upgrade will be something in the 6' range, min of 125 gals. Why should I consider getting rid of the valentini?
