richmond wrasse

Ive never seen this fish in the US before. Judging by the genus and all, I would question how reefsafe it would be- most of that group are hard on shrimp, small crabs, worms, clams and such. You may be OK with coral- Im sure it would be fine with soft coral. They stay relatively small, average 6-7", I would say a 55 or 75 would be a decent minimum tank size for one.

HERE is a link to some of the basic info on the species.. not a ton out there.
 
I was just curious, I bought one yesterday. It is soooo bad to the bone. It is way more beautiful in person then in the pictures. My lfs store said it should be good to go. He orders allot of stuff in that region of the world.
 
I have a pair but the female died. I still have the male for almost 2 yrs now. It's really a beautiful fish. It has a bright green and blue color.
