Non-aggressive wrasses for mixed reef?

[airtime23]

Can anyone give me a list of relatively non-aggressive wrasses that would be suitable in a 225 gallon mixed reef, please?

A list of wrasses that I should absolutely avoid would be great, too!

Thanks!

Leopard and Flasher wrasses are peaceful while lined wrasse are the most aggressive. Fairy wrasses are somewhere in between but closer to peaceful.

Pseudocheilinops, Leptojulis, and Pseudojuloides are always peaceful, Cirrhilabrus, Paracheilinus, Macropharyngodon, Xenojulis, and Anampses are usually peaceful, Halichoeres are usually peaceful when young and can get less so as they age. Genera to avoid are Pseudocheilinus, Coris, and Thalasomma.

There are always exceptions to the rules. Whip fin fairy wrasses are pretty mean. I suggest putting a list together of must haves and then posting that list. Other members can chime in and help determine which wrasses you want that will do exist.

Wetmorella (possum wrasse) species are also peaceful.
