Whipfins are one of the more aggressive fairy wrasses according to Dr. Tanaka, I had one and he needed to come out wasn't going to let a $30 fish kill a $300 fish, but that is just one fish...mine.

I have 2 lubbocks, a sea grass, a banana, and a cleaner. I would love to add a whipfin they are gorgeous but not at the expense of another fish and they all get along.
