i have recently aquired an hoevens wrasse. i was wandering if it will bother any of my other fish(percula clown,maroon clown, sailfin tang,green mandrin, lawnmower blenny)?
i have heard of these wrasse :confusedbefore but nott much experience with them.:)
 
The Hoeven's Wrasse is also referred to as the Tail Spot Wrasse, the Yellow-lined Wrasse, the Orange-tipped Rainbowfish, the Tailspot Wrasse, and the Pinstriped Wrasse. The body of this fish is blue-green in color and has pink or yellow stripes running horizontally across its sides. The color of the juvenile is more muted.

It will eat fireworms and pyramidellid snails, protecting corals and clams. In addition, it may eat feather dusters, wild shrimp, tubeworms, and flatworms. It may also eat parasites off of tank mates. Regular feedings should include a variety of prepared and live meaty foods, such as feeder shrimps, flaked foods,and marine fish.---------------------------------do you think they are talking about live fish?the wrasse i aquired is only 2 in long.surely it will not bother my others?
