Are they fish peaceful? Aggressive?? Reef safe?? Can someone with experience tell me a little about this fish. Can’t find much information about it at all. It is a very beautiful fish I would like to add it to my tank with a pair of occellaris clowns
 
Reefsafe yes. May eat smaller shrimp. I've read that as they get older, they may become aggressive toward other fish. Not so much causing damage, as just harassing. No personal experience though.
 
I had one years ago. Beautiful fish but I found it quite aggressive, particularly towards wrasses.
 
I have one and mine is only aggressive towards wrasses around the same size. He doesn't bother with my larger peaceful wrasses or clowns. Occasionally he will clean my tangs like a cleaner wrasse.
