I am in the process of getting together a 180 and am looking for some active fish with different colors. It is going to be a mixed reef, and I have seen some beautiful wrasses, I am looking for some fish to mix in. As of now, the only fish I want for sure are a Powder Blue Tang, Australian Harlequin Tusk, a mandarin pair down the road, and the rest is pretty open. Throw out some ideas please!
 
Maybe with the tuskfish in there it is worth looking at some of the more robust but very colourful halicoeres wrasse.
Halichoeres cosmetus is a favourite but Halichoeres melanurus, Halichoeres iridis, Halichoeres biocellatus, Halichoeres ornatissimus and Halichoeres melasmapomus are some of the nicer members and you can't go wrong with Halichoeres chrysus or Halichoeres leucoxanthus.

Other than that fairy wrasse would probably be ok and a few examples again with my favourite Cirrhilabrus lubbocki, Cirrhilabrus scottorum, Cirrhilabrus laboutei, Cirrhilabrus lineatus, its a large family with a few stunners and the plus side is they can be kept as pairs or harems. Would love a couple of these cirrhilabrus jordani.

You then have the flasher wrasse but i'm not sure whether these would be intimadated by the husk, so might be worth waiting for others opinions.
