Thank you fellas.

Are all of the ones on my original list considered "reef safe" or would any of them go after inverts?

My Hoevens was a serial snail killer. Killed every snail in my tank regardless of size. Tossed in 3 turbos before I knew, they were dead as soon as they hit the sand.

My leopard hunts pods but otherwise doesn't go after anything.

My fairy is as sweet as can be.

Melanurus are hit or miss for motile inverts (snails, shrimp), red-lined (assuming this is H. biocellatus) should be fine. All fairy and flasher wrasses are completely reef compatible.

Ditto with my Hoevens (melanurus). Takes out inverts like it's his job. Very curious & persistent fish.

Exactly.
