Dragon Wrasse compatability

I was thinking about adding a dragon Wrasse to my larger tank. I wanted some input on whether or not this was an ok idea. I currently have in this tank. A purple tang, coral beauty, sixline, yellow goby, malcour niger, and a coral bannded shrimp. Everyone coexists quite well right now. the dragon wrasse im looking at is not a Juevenile, but is only about 3.5 in long. Any input would be nice. Ive been debating over my next fish for some time. Also thinking about a bi-color Goat fish.

Scott Michaels, author of "Reef Aquarium Fishes" has this to say, "...the Rockmover or Dragon Wrasse is not only a threat to invertebrates, it can be very aggressive toward any fish tankmates. Although ornate, interesting and relatively well behaved as a juvenile (it) will become a destructive and uncontrollable aquarium inhabitant as it matures.".

I had one a long time ago that took on that exact role. I determined, never again.

Leave the Dragon Wrasses in the wild.

The Juveniles rarely survive shipment and captivity. The few that make are reef predators, and the adults are sheer distruction.

Don't be misled by the the cute reindeer look of juveniles. Cute today, burden tommorrow.

Thank you all for your input. I think he can stay at the lfs. I'm thankfull for this fourum to do reaserch on before jumping into the fire with both feet. I still would like to figure out what my next fish should be. Back to the drawing board.
