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

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.

Mystery wrasse ,Blue sided fairy wrasse, Melanurus wrasse, Wetmorella wrasse, Solarensis wrasse ,Scotts wrasse and Exquisite fairy wrasse are all great and they are all jumpers. I have picked up my Mystery wrasse off the floor twice and resuscitated it twice. It has also eaten 4 cleaner shrimp as well. Believe they get taste for them when they get bigger. I would be leary of the Melanurus wrasse as well I have heard they eat shrimp too.

Thanks for the input guys. Many beauties in there! I should also mention that I already have a McKoskers, and plan on getting a 6 line. I really like the style on the Melanarus, and Mystery. The Leapards are nice too. I'll have to do a little reading on all of my fav's when I have a chance.
I just ordered up a couple of marine fish books... hope they have good sections on wrasses, angels and anthias. I need to choose a wrasse, and angel, and a group of anthias that will work for my tank... hopefully!

Definetly leaning towards either a Melanarus, Ruby Head, or a Blue Star Leopard. BEAUTIES! We'll see what ends up available first... once I'm ready.
