Klunzinger's Wrasse
Green Bird Wrasse
Lunare Wrasse
well, from that little search i reckon green must be the least common colour on marine fish hey! how wicked would a bright green tang be!! maybe il have to paint half a yellow tang make it a green and gold Aussia tang!!!
good luck finding a fish mate.

how about an Exquisite Wrasse. All that I have seen are a nice green...and some even have a nicer coloration with reds, pinks and purples. Usually pretty faily priced...I paid 40$ for mine when I had one...

lol, i am looking into the green clown gobies but i hear they nip/eat acopora coral polyps. anyone know anything about this?
humm painting a tang, thats not a bad idea. so do you think i would need to prime him first or perhaps just a couple coats.
yeah i never though a green fish would be a challange to find but to my supprise there are rew and far between, at least ones that "reefsafe".
hey i like that seegrass wrasse. but from what little research i did on them they eat inverts. i know nothing about these guys. have you had any experience with them voltekker???

I would avoid the Lunare wrasse if you want to have anything like hermit crabs or cleaner shrimp. I had one for a while, and he was a great fish, extremely hardy...but he turned my cleaner shrimp into parts in nothing flat. Most of the hermit crabs I tried to add got sucked out of their shell before they hit the substrate. Fascinating to watch, in twisted sort of way. I traded him in to the LFS.

The sea grass wrasse is hit or miss with inverts. I had one but then my dad but a fish with out telling me they didnt match and the wrasse jumped. From what i understand any inverts in the tank already like shrimp should be ok as long as they are in the tank before the wrasse gets in there. Id also try to get him small, mine came kinda big.

Well I had one for about a week...a very friendly fish...Sadly my Lubbucks wrasse didn't like it and tormented it to death. my LFS has gotten in a few lately and they have been amazing color...and they all seem pretty friendly not bothering anything...IMO they are one of the more peaceful wrasses...
wolf eel lol. i would be scared one day it would eat me. i caught one in alaska. that thing was huge and one mean mother. it almost ate my friends boot right off him.
going to have to more into the seagrass and pastel wrasses. i like both those. i am crabless for cleaner crew so rely on snails mostly. did any of you guys have issues with either of these going after snails?
