Best Reef Safe Wrasse for a 90 gallon display that is "very stocked"?
Only other wrasse is a McCoskers Flasher Wrasse!

A lot of options probably. FWIW, I really like my C. iscoceles. A cheaper favorite of mine was H. melanurus (they will need sand to sleep in).

Best is pretty subjective. Any of the smaller Cirrhilabrus would do. I love isosceles and jordani. Halichoeres biocellatus would also be a good choice if you have a sand bed.

 

[Paul87]

My little isosceles.

Can multiple yellow banded possum wrasses be kept together?

Can multiple yellow banded possum wrasses be kept together?

Yes, they are quite peaceful with one another.

Hello Wrasse lovers!
I would like to add a wrasse to my tank but I love my feather dusters and small tube worms that grow on the live rock. Is there a wrasse that would pick at the worms?

The reefsafe wrasses of Cirrhilabrus, Paracheilinus, Macropharyngodon, Wetmorella, Pseudocheilinops, Pseudojuloides, and small Halichoeres will leave them alone. The larger genera of labrids are a risk.

Thank you

Yup.
There's a small risk with the mid-size Halichoeres (~6"), but for the most part it is not a concern with the reef safe genera.

Couple more of mine

How about keeping one of these with a kryptic (pink streak) wrasse?

Also fine; they're also very peaceful.

Sweet. Both of these are on my list.

Wow, how big is the tank and how well behaved is the Corris?

300DD the coris wrasses are well behaved although my 7" red coris digs a lot
