It’s “reef safe” as in it probably won’t bother any of your corals, but it will eat smaller fish and any inverts (shrimps/snails/crabs) that you have in your tank. I had one that I didn’t consider aggressive but it was crazy active and ate a ton of food.

They are fine with other aggressive fish, but too aggressive toward reef tank planktivores. They may flip small corals. They will eat inverts.

Yup, it's generally best to avoid the Thalassoma Wrasses. Shame too as they are gorgeous.

Not a great one, he’s quick.
He’s hot pink and light blue. Fiesty, would be happy in a nice fowlr or a reef tank with other fast moving carnivorous fish. He is fine with my flame angel and leopard wrasse that are in there, no aggression, but he needs more swimming space sometime soon. Free to a good home Thalassoma Quinquevittatum

Thanks, appreciate the offer! But I think I'm going to try to find a reef safe wrasse...

Here’s my Lunare Wrasse that likes to lay on the toadstool 
I’ve had him since he was little like the yellow coris wrasse photo bombing ;Stig. He’s in with small clowns and he doesn’t bother them. As far as being reef safe, he is to me. I don’t have crabs that he can bother so I’m good.

What size is the tank out of curiosity?
Not that this is much help, but I accidentally bought one when I was first setting up my reef a dozen plus years ago. I can't remember what it was labeled as, but when I got home and figured out what I had, I spent the rest of the night tearing down my reef and brought him back the next day.
