You can’t post this without a picture.I have a CF Lunatus and it's gorgeous - like many Wrasse, the closer you look the more detail and beauty you find.

@Reefltx,
What species is your beautiful wrasse? H. hortulanus? A. lennardi? How big is he? Do they get anywhere near 12 inches? I would love to see a clear picture of him.
They sure do.Do they get anywhere near 12 inches?
All good points..For utility a lot of the halichoeres species are good however they need a sand bed to sleep in (iridis ,chryus , melasmopomus, lecoxanthus, melanurus complex in general.
Possum and pink streaked wrasses are good for pest control too but wont be terribly effective in a tank that size, however will still help (dont need sand beds)
For prettyness i like the brunneus, lunatus, pintail, rhomboid fairys, and all flashers are pretty in my opinion lol.
Just depends on personal preference, the best thing to do is go research on live aquaria through their wrasses and then do deeper research into different species and conplexes to find whats best for your taste and tank and then ask here to be sure
Sorry if i came across rude in that post at all, sometimes dont realise until after i post it i may come across off lol.All good points..
Is there a few you would recommend I start reading up on?
Thank you.. the more common names are what the LFS sells the fish it’s tough to go to a new here and say... I’m looking for this scientific named wrasse lol.. I’m going to check out that post u provided and drill down to a few fairy/flasher wrasses and post for feedback thank youIt is true that most wrasse for pest control require sand bed. Perhaps set up a container with sand in it for them and hide it behind the rock in the back, or set up a container sand bed for them. Difficult to set up a partial sand bed unless you are deliberate doing it when you set up the system. Me, I like sand bed in my reef tank so I have no problem.
Fairy and Flasher wrasses does not need a sand bed and they are very beautiful. They are often short live, life span of perhaps 5-7 years.
@evolved have an article on reef safe wrasse that you may want to look at, then expanded to do search on species that you are interested in.
Good luck
