CARIBSEA DRY ARAGONITE SPECIAL GRADE REEF SAND 40 LB for my bedding which is 1.0–2.0 mm diameter grain size okay.​

Thanks for any advice want to purchase but I keep getting different answers to above question, thanks again.

This is R2R ... everyone is going to give their opinion... so... think outside the box...

get some of both... put some on one part of bottom, put some of other on other part of bottom, and at bedtime watch where your wrasse dives in to sleep. Then, use more of that in your tank bottom...

+1 vote sand, but defer to your wrasse

My large Yellow-Head Wrasse dives right into CaribSea special grade aragonite every night to sleep. I would think they are very similar fish.

I've kept sand sleeping wrasses with Special Grade sand for 10 years without problems.

That's not the wrasse most commonly given the name Banana wrasse. That's actually a Caribbean species H. garnoti (Yellow Head wrasse). They get up to about 6"

What most call Banana is a Thalassoma species.

Ooops, disregard this post. I got the OP's post confused with JumboShrimp's post who Id'd his wrasse correctly.
