Picking the right wrasse(curious of my options) for a 55 gallon tank.

[ReefKeeper666]

So a while back ago my tank got velvet. I managed to save one fish, a pajama Cardinal. My fallow period will be over on the 12th. I have successfully treated the cardinal with copper. He is now ready to go back. I recently picked up a clown goby and began QTing him yesterday. My third fish will be a wrasse. Take a look at my stock list below. It’s in the order I plan to add the fish. My question is that Is a pink streaked wrasse my best option? Are there other wrasse that would be good or better? Wonder what you all think out there. Also do I need sand to QT a wrasse? Do I need to use less copper as I understand wrasse are very sensitive to it. Thanks everyone...

stock list:
1. Pajama Cardinal
2. clown goby
3. Pink streaked wrasse
4. Watchman Goby
5. royal gramma or chalk bass
6 Midas blenny
7//8 2 OC clowns

A pink streaked wrasse is a great option, but hardly your only one.

You could have any flasher wrasse, most fairy wrasses, any leopard, and a number of the small Halichoeres species.

Leopards and Halichoeres need sand. Flashers, fairies, and pink streak dont.

I recently got a fairy and a flasher wrasse, they are awesome fish and eat like velociraptors every feeding. Very pretty colors on these guys.
