I was looking at flasher wrasse the other day actually. It is an option.

Just make sure you have an overhang with some good flow under it because that is where this fish will stay.

I would also put a blue assessor on here, even though it doesn't match your colour schematic but man o man, what an unbelievably eye catching fish...
Would really be a showpiece in the tank described.

Both varieties of assessors (which I believe are considered basslets) are as unaggressive as you could hope for.

I suppose that also, if you're tank is nicely established or you have a 'fuge of one variety or another(or want to spend the money on bottled pods) a red psychedelic mandarin would fit your hopes for colour and passiveness well.
Color isn't really THAT big a deal...blue would be fine. I know J&L have the Yellow Assessors right now. Very nice fish!

I don't really have much of a fuge or a Mandarin would be a great fish too. Although I am still really looking for something more active in the water column. It's hard to find anything for a smaller tank like this that is an active swimmer. Obviously if they are active swimmers in this size tank, they have to stay pretty small.
