Wrasses that sleep in the sand?

[vegita51]

Would they do okay with the fiji pink reef sand as there are chunks of shell and rocks? I don't want to get a wrasse that sleeps in the sand if it is going to get cut and be more prone to diseases. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks

That's what I was using in my old tank, it works great for 2 leopard wrasses and a melanurus.

You will be fine. I have that same type and 2 of my 5 wrasse sleep in the sand.

Thank you very much for the responses. I wasn't entirely sure and didn't want to risk it.

I use Fiji pink as well without problems with sand sifters and wrasses that dive into the sand. I took out the shells, though, as I thought they detracted from the look I wanted for the sand bed.
