Small wrasse

[Tchung23]

Looking for a nice looking wrasse for my redsea 200xl.
Currently have
1 mandarine
1 ruby red dragonette
2 yasha
2 yellow head jawfish
1 Helfrichi
Want something different than 6line and something peaceful as all tankmates get along.
Any suggestions?

2 foot tank. I would only do a pink streak or one of the possums.

I was looking. Most wrasses get quite large. I’m looking for something that grows to 3” or less. McClosker fairy only gets to 3” based on liveaquqria.

Possum wrasse for sure. Meets all of your requirements. It may however compete with your 3 dragonets for pods, although mine eats anything I give it.

I always have to look up the dimensions for those darn Red Sea reefers. The numbers are misleading, since they are volume in liters and include the sump.

McCosker's is a flasher. They are smallish, but 3 foot tanks and bigger allow them to do their thing.

The only ones on my list above that I would do in a 2' tank is the Pink Streak and Possum

Yellow coris is my favorite

Yellow coris

yes, I like the yellow coris but it can't go into his tank. It requires a large open area for it to swim. His tank is only 2' long

+1 for a yellow banded possum wrasse, mine is super peaceful and very active.

I agree with this, and if you do a pink streak they look WAY nicer in whites (I’ve had mine under blues and whites). Here’s a photo with 70% white and 40% blues, I’ve been debating on lowering the 40% blue to 30% but it’s also only in day 2 of a 7 day acclimation period for the new corals.

True, I didn't make note of his tank dimensions.
