If I ever got sand again these would be the first fish I'd add. Radiant wrasse (Halichoeres iridis).

Wow! :eek2: Is that a pair? How did they get along for you?
Are yall keeping these fish in reef tanks? If so, are you just living without much of a clean up crew?
Would a ~1.5" Plectranthias Inermis be in danger with all of these fish as adults?
... I want one too

38bill -- love that redhead -- does it cause you any problems? How big has it grown?
My Red Head is about 4". I've had it less than a year and he gets along with all the other fish. He was skinny when I got him but he eats like a pig and he's really starting to bulk up now.
Here's another one of his tank mates. Ornate Wrasse (Halichoeres ornatissimus). I also have a H melanurus and all three get along without a problem. They are much more calm than the fairy wrasses in the tank.

ReefSic - what species is the wrasse you posted?
Thanks Dave. I picked this one up from DD a while back. I thought it was H. marginatus but they said Annularis since it was from Fiji. Do you know which locale your Dusky's were collected from? Any pics of them?Jacob D nice dusky there ! i have a pair of juviniles and they are awesome together .
My QT is a bare bottom. I considered putting sand in there for the wrasses but I do have some live rock that they slept under and it hasn't been an issue.
Here are a couple more pics of the Dusky taken with the lights on this time...
