Green Bird Wrasse

[Hecticdude]

Hi everyone! Finishing up my cycle and planning on putting in some softies first in my 75 gallon. Planning my fish list and stopped by my lfs and fell in love with a Green Bird Wrasse.
Planning to put no more than 5-6 fish, mostly lps and softies.
Any suggestions or experience with this beautiful creature would be helpful. Thank you

It's my understanding that they get pretty big and may require a larger tank. Also, they are not considered reef safe. It's a shame cause they are really awesome fish.

Yea. Unfortunately a 75g is not really even close to big enough to house one of these. I had one years ago in my old pond and they are definitely cool fish though:

Aggressive and get really big (too big for a 75), they are also a with caution when it comes to reefs, will eat regular inverts for sure but not sure about corals.
