[CoralWealth]

Hello!

I am looking to get around 6 reef safe wrasses for my 180 gallon DT that is SPS dominated. I want to see your guys pictures and recommendations on what your favorite reef safe wrasse is that is UNDER $50.

Look forward to the pictures and suggestions

Just got a "Multi colored Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse" from LA. Nice little fish. No pics yet.

melanarus, I don’t have a pic of mine but he is always out hunting and very friendly with tank mates (he is the only wrasse) I think they are very common but still beautiful $35

Definitely getting one of these, along with the mccoskers wrasse

I had one of these but he unfortunately started taking out my snails and hermits all the time so he went into the FLOWR. They are very underrated and pretty though.

This. Beautiful fish, mine is very active and adds a great splash of color.

I love my melanarus. He is the biggest fish in my 180g right now.

I picked up a McCosker’s wrasse at the recent Silicon frag show for $20. He’s a beauty and always out hunting for food. I should’ve picked up a couple for that price. Pardon the crappy iPhone shot.

I love wrasses. I have 4 of them. Solar, leopard, pintail and a ruby head. Great fish as long as you can keep them in the tank. Many are jumpers.

Ornate leopard

Depends on what you mean by reef safe. My dusky (similar to Hoeven's) is an awesome fish, leaves corals alone but is 'murder' on the CUC. Lubbocks, Meleagris leopard, carpenters, etc.

Yellow Coris Wrasse

I appreciate all the suggestions so far

The lubbocks from Bali rather than Cebu is one of my favorites. I also love the pennant of the social fairy wrasse. And the Pacific Ocean exquisite fairy wrasses are spectacular when they display.

Nebulous wrasse

 

[GoldeneyeRet]

So many choices...

H. Biocellatus and h. iridis

Lubbock, exquisite, pink margin, solar all are nice imo.

Yellowfin and linneopunctatus are nice flashers

Leopards are very nice, I like bipartus

Possum wrasse are asmong my favorite fish and i want a pink streak as well.

Yes, I like a lot of wrasse in the 50 dollar range lol

@eatbreakfast Mine was labeled from Indonesia. So I'm assuming that's the Bali sub-group.
