So I am looking to add a wrasse to my Waterbox 130.4. Needs to be...
-reef safe (I have mostly LPS with some SPS)
-invert safe (I have a variety of snails and a blood red fire shrimp)
-not overly shy (many of the fish I have only show themselves to eat, e.g,, royal gramma, purple firefish)
-visually appealing (I love the look of leopard, six line, and melanurus wrasses)

Any favorites out there that would fit this criteria or am I looking for one that doesn’t exist?
 
My Christmas wrasse fits that description loads of personality to

But not all of them are invert safe....mine was but some aren't. If the OP wants to not take any risks with inverts would recommend fairy or flashers (which ever appeals)
 
Halochoeres (too lazy to check spelling) are generally hit or miss on inverts. I don't bother with flasher wrasses anymore, just too hard to keep them in the tank. Fairy wrasses would fit the bill though.
 
Lubbocks is a very good tankmate, active, nice coloration. The one below looks very much like mine. It moves too fast to get a good pic and I'm lousy with taking pics ;)
