it seems everyone and they're uncle have a wrasse but thats the one thing i could never keep alive. because i started from dry rock it took me 3 years before i had even seen a bristleworm in my tank now i have lots of different things crawling around i want to try again so seeing what wrasses are your favourite in a reef.

so the question is what kind do you have? and what kind is your faoourite?

Love my hoevens wrasse stunning colours, but my best fish in my tank ( dosent bother nothing ) is my yellow wrasse now I seen online they are under fish only .. But I've never have had an issue with these 2 infact just watching them graze for bugs is soothing lol my corals thank them !

Also if I had a bigger tank of get a luner wrasse beauty's but I hear they arnt too coral friendly and the ones that are the corals get knocked around they are powerful swimmers

I've had my Leopard wrasse sorry close to two yrs now and he's fat and healthy.
I also have a blue sided fairy wrasse. Nice fish too. But doesn't play nice with other wrasses I've tried to add after him.

My other favorites are solar and Christmas wrasse

It will probably be hard to add more with an established six line they are pretty but little SOB's to newcomers.

Another vote for Tusks ...love them but say goodbye to shrimp, crabs, snails...

Radiant wrasses are stunning members of the same group as the more common Melanurus and great personalities too but hard on snails...mine unfortunately jumped just after the tank change.

Mystery wrasses are as good as it gets...beautiful and safe..and I am a recent fan of the fairy wrasses...they get along and are small but showy. I currently have an Aussie Lineatus and an as of yet unidentified one...would like to add a golden Rhomboid.
