What kind of wrasse should i get?

[cnaegler]

Hello,
I've recently set up a 300 gallon reef tank and i'm trying to decide on what kind of reef safe wrasse/wrasses i can add. I've noticed some tank owners adding wrasses that supplement some pests as food such as a lineatus (sp?) Can anyone recommend something like these?
Currently, i have:
-Queen Angel
- Powder Blue tang
- Purple tang
- Yellow tang
- Blonde Naso Tang
- Scopas Tang
- mated pair oscellaris clowns
- pencil wrasse
-3 PJ cardinals
- Firefish
- 2 small gobies w/ pistol shrimps
- 7 Chromis

Thanks for your input in advance!

You have some many choices. Try any one of the following types:
leopard (macropharyngodon)
tamarin (anampses)
fairy (cirrhalibrus)
flasher (paracheilinus)
or one of the halichoeres.
Stay away from the coris family which typically get big and destructive.

hawaiian flame wrasse..... just bought one and that is more active and cooler to watch than my maroon clownfish

I have a purple tang with 3 yellow coris wrasse and a female leopard (divided) wrasse. They are doing very good together.

Agreed. If you want fairies, check out flame wrasses, or lineatus, or rhomboid. Those are 3 of my favorite.
