The Timor Wrasse has been in my 120-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active and colorful, though I’ve had to monitor it closely to avoid aggression toward smaller invertebrates. Overall, it’s a good addition with proper tank setup.

I added this wrasse to my tank after researching compatibility. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does chase small crustaceans. I’ve adjusted my invertebrate placement to reduce stress. A solid choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to adjust well. I’m still watching for signs of aggression, especially with smaller polyps. It’s not a beginner-friendly fish, but it’s manageable with proper planning.
