So I'm starting to get into wrasses and was interested in some feedback from wrasse experts.

Currently there is a red coris wrasse,melanurus wrasse, and mystery wrasse in the tank. Other fish include 2 Borbonias Anthias, 2 Latz Clownfish, 1 snowflake clownfish, Yellow Tang, Hippo Tang, Swallowtail Angelfish, 3 tiger queen anthias, swissguard basslet, assessor basslet. 1 pink dotted Goby, 2 large fire shrimp, 3 cleaner shrimp, 1 sea urchin, 2 sandsifting starfish, 1 fancy brittle star, 1 serpent star.

Currently no fighting among the fish. The Borbonias seem to be the masters of the tank atm.

Going to be adding a Kole tang as well.

I"m thinking of picking up the following :

1x Anampses femininus (Candycane Femininus)


1x Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis (Orange Back Fairy)


1x Halichoeres chierchiae (Wounded)


1x Macropharyngodon bipartitus (female) (Leopard, Vermiculate Female)


1x Macropharyngodon bipartitus (male) (Leopard, Vermiculate Male)


1x Macropharyngodon geoffroyi (Potter's Geoffroyi)


Any specific problems that people can see from this selection? I'm planning on getting larger specimens of the new wrasse. The mystery wrasse currently in the tank would be considered on the small size.

Tank is comprised of mostly SPS, 2 Crocea Clams, 2 Squamosa Clams, 1 Hippo Clam, 1 Maxima Clam, 1 green haddoni, 1 blue haddoni, 1 red haddoni. Softies its mostly jawbreaker mushroom, an incoming red devil mushroom, and a rock full of ricordia.
About 200lbs of live rock with plenty of caves and nooks.
Deep sand bed of about 5 to 6 inchs.

The LPS are being moved out. With the exception of a red goni and 2 Rhyso.

Tank is a 210 DD tank with sump and seperate refugium and a huge ATB skimmer.
2 400w MH and then 4 strips of reefbrite LEDs for supplement lighting.
Water Changes every week with dosing every couple days.
Water temp is consistent between 75.5 to 76 degrees.

I would go with one from the Cirrhilabrus genus. The others may be to similar to one that you have?
