Are Wrasse right for me?

[Rolltidekraz]

Are Wrasse right for me? I have read mixed reviews. Does anyone See any problems with a few different wrasse With my current stock list? Maybe a sixline, a fairy and a Christmas if they are reef safe.

100g mixed reef
ocellaris clownfish
Blue Tang
Flame Angle
Purple dottyback
Foxface Rabbitfish
Banggai cardinalfish
(Might add snowflake clown, yellow tang and a chromis or 2)
Coral banded shrimp
20 or 30 snails
20 or 30 hermits
15 or so softies

Christmas wrasses are reef safe IMO. Don’t mess with corals, but big ones sometimes eat small ornamental inverts (something like a sexy shrimp could be in danger).

Wrasses have pluses and minuses, sometimes even the same feature can be both.

My six line wrasse eats some of the live stuff I'd rather not have in my tank, like flatworms. That's great. And my tank has some small white feather dusters that he doesn't bother. That's also great. So I just got a nice big feather duster and what does the wrasse do? Eats it on the 2nd day in the tank!
