Wrasse suggestion needed

[miserkris]

I need to add a wrasse. I have no sand and I have like 85lb LR, a fuge with pods and macro. I have a mandarin too.

It has to be a fairy flasher kind.
I see both terms r used for same fish, ie fairy /flasher... Its confusing.

Plus analyzing scientific name and finding name in trade is confusing.

pls share ur experience with:
( From Liveaquaria names: )

mccorsker,bluehead, exquisite,lubbock, red head salon fairy,scott wrasses.

Might get one of these males.
It should be reef safe, non aggresive, multi color, a bit hardy.

thanks!

Is your tank super well covered? If not, don' t bother with either Fairy or flasher wrasses. They Will Jump. Not might jump.

FYI Fairy wrasses are Cirrhilabrus sp. and Flashers are Parachelinus Sp. Of the ones you listed above, only the Mckoskers is a flasher wrasse.

of the wrasses listed...the Scotts can be very aggressive

I have a red head solon, he's super social and very active. I have a sand bed and he makes a mess of that mostly digging under the live rock. And he's a jumper..

Thanks,
How do wrasses do in qt....with hypo...or copper.?

No reason for hypo or Cu unless the fish has a parasite. Just put it in QT and observe before treating it with anything.

I understand but my question is how do wrasses react to cu or hypo salinity.

 

[prattreef]

they generally react fine if it is done correctly.
