an X-mas wrasse is not a good reef fish. i would say stick to fairy wrasse, six line, 4 line, corris or flasher wrasse. although even a flasher and fairy wrasse prefer a bigger tank. there are others you could try but they are abit harder to keep and even harder in a smaller tank.
lastly make sure you have a very tight fitting lid on your tank before keeping any kind of wrasse as they will end up jumping sooner or later. every wrasse i have ever kept has ended up jumping. even when i had a top my mystery wrasse ended up jumping thru a small hole i ould have never though he could have made it thru or would find.

the four line i would stay away from because it will get territorial once he gets settled in and they are relentless in their aggressions . flashers would be great and the coris also would be a great tankmate as there are many to choose from . yes top must be covered very well as they are escape artists . i am partial to the leopards but they are initially a bit challenging but the most beautiful IMO . best of luck to you !

i honestly think a mystery wrasse needs a bigger tank myself. i had one in my 60g tank and i think that was even too small for it. but they are awesome fish and my favorite wrasse.
they are however abit more agressive then some other wrasse's from what i have seen.
