    Just got some awesome christmas tree worm rocks last night, will update my tank thread with pics when I get a chance.
    Was just checking out some other fish for compatability and noticed concerns about wrasse.
    In my tank I currently have, a purple tang, kole tang, midas blenny and a Laboutei wrasse.

    Does anyone have experience with xmas tree worms and laboutei wrasse? or know if the worms are doomed?
    The laboutei seems so peaceful I didnt expect it could be a problem, but I suppose it is still a wrasse.

    I really want to keep both, but if its not possible I guess I'll have to choose :-/

    Also, one rock is potentially going to go to a friends tank who has a lawmower blenny, occy clowns and a coral beauty?
    Might any of these be a threat to the worms as well?

    Any help would be great as I'd like to move them quickly if there maybe a problem.

    Thanks!

    Or anyone kept any other decorative/noticeable worms with any fairy wrasse?
    Or seen fairy wrasse eat anything that could lead to suggest I'd have a problem?

    Cirrhilabrus wrasses are completely reef safe.

    A labouti won't even notice they are there.
