Wrasses and pest control

[Mtb_reefer]

looking to get a wrasse for a 25 lagoon. Looking for a mild tempered fish that will eat nudis in particular. Are all wrasses up to the job or am I stuck with line wrasses or maybe a yellow coris?

Pink streak, wetmorella, sixline, of 4line.

Will a flasher or fairy eat pest?

Nope, and the tank is too small for them anyway.

A Pink Streak is probably your best bet here, all considered.

Are pink streaks aggressive? As of now the tank is housing a pair of orange stripe gobies a Helfrichi firefish and a snowflake clown. I’ve had the clown for about 2 1/2 years and he is very temperamental, he is actually going into his own tank this weekend.

No; it will be fine with those - no issue.

Pink Streaked would be the best all around fish to go with. The lined Wrasses are better at pest control but they are generally not good community tank fish, especially in a tank that small. The Pink Streaked Wrasses are very peaceful and can perform pest removal services AND are a good fit for a tank of that size. For that reason I would say it's the best choice for you.
