What Wrasse Is The Right Wrasse?

[Marco S]

I have a 45 gallon bow front tank that I used as a QT tank that I just cleaned out and have drying as we speak. I want to make it a FOWLR tank for smaller fish. So far I only have 2 clownfish, an Electric Indigo Dottyback, (gotta have at least one in every tank. I love Dottybacks) and possibly a Goby or Filefish of some kind. I have wanted a Wrasse for a while, but do not have a lid on my DT and I probably am at max stock level give or take so I probably wont be putting a Wrasse in my DT even after I get a lid. I do have a Harlequin Tusk which technically is a Wrasse though, but want to put at least one smaller Wrasse in my 45 gallon.

Anyone have any recommendations on good Wrasses for a 45 gallon tank? It has to be peaceful, colorful and preferably weird looking. I saw one on Divers Den a few weeks ago that I loved, but haven't seen it since and I wasn't ready to purchase any more fish at the time. I think it was some kind of Possum Wrasse, but it was blue, yellow and red. The only ones I have seen other than that are a boring brown and white or red and white color so it may not have been a Possum. Either way, any recommendations would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Possum wrasse. I have one in my 45g. One of my favorite fish. She is such a sweet girl.
