Reef Safe Wrasses

[brick-brothers]

Hey guys, I looking into buying 2 reef safe wrasse that doesnt grow that big. I have an 120g with some corals in it. ( candy canes, frogspawns, zoas, shrooms, and polyps. What popular reef safe wrasse will do good in my tank?

 

[albano]

what is too big? 'Most' fairy and flashers don't get that big, but some can get more aggressive. what do you like?

Without knowing your budget for the 2 fish, I'll suggest an "inexpensive" and and a pricey one

Canary Wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) if you have a sandbed

male Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis) doesn't require a sandbed

I like the Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse.

I heard some grow bigger than others. But then again I have a 120g so I dont know why I'm worried about the size. lol I wouldnt want an agressivie wrasse.

I have the Canary and Chinese as well with this guy the H.Iridis. Very hard to take pics with my camera because these wrasses don't stay still LOL.

Are your wrasses always in the open?

Yes they are.Most wrasses are always in the open through out the day .They sleep in the sand bed at night.

Any ideas on your budget?

I suggest a Negroensis...best looking wrasse IMO..

True, for many wrasses, but fairy and flasher wrasses usually do not need a 'sand bed'

[daaznmofo]

when people say reef safe wrasses, they're referring to snails and shrimps right? not corals
