Wrasse recommendation?

[doch]

I'm starting the planning for adding fish into the upgrade and am loking for a few opinions. I'd like a REALLY nice colorful wrasse that is invert safe (emeralds, pom poms, fire shrimp, etc).

What are your fav's?

Solar and aussie scotts are my faves. Also had a ruby head that was kick**s

I like the mystery wrasse and flasher wrasses. However, I've given up on wrasses as both my mystery wrasses jumped and so did my flasher. I only have 1" of space that is possible for them to jump, but they all found that 1"

+1 on dez's choices. I have both in my tank. my favorite is got to be the mystery. Try to steer away form any of the line wrasses as they can be aggressive.

Not sure about the mystery but I do like flasher wrasses. I guess it all depends on the individual wrasse but to be honest I know of a mystery that killed a jawfish and that same wrasse took out cleaner shrimp that were in a tank before he was introduced.

Mystery wrasses are awesome, but they can become territorial monsters when they get established. If you get one, make sure you add it after all your other wrasses.

I heart labouti wrasses

Mystery wrasse will also more than likely take out your shrimp(mine did).....leopard or melenarus (or similar)?... Both beautiful fish with the added bonus of pest control

+1 on the melarus. I'm definitely going to get one in my next tank.

Rhomboid wrasse :-D

Many wrasses to chose from, but stay away from the Thalossoma species. Most are not reef safe and most get aggressive when mature. My Lunare Wrasse is a beautiful fish but easily the biggest PITA in my tanks.
