Wrasse expert keepers help please?

My girlfriend wants a trio of anthias but I dont think we have enough swimming space for them, so I was looking at getting her some type of wrasse. She really likes pink anthias, so i was looking into the differnt species of wrasses that are colorful with pink included, any ideas on a very pink/ purpleish wrasse?

My pink margin is very pink and purple. The tip of the tail is a very bright pink. And they are affordable and hardy.

so 1/4 inch netting, put into a window screen frame would work?

Yes, many of us are using exactly that setup.

made a screen last night, out of 1 inch netting and i doubled it off kilter so it is mostly 1/4 in squares. now to just pick out a wrasse for our little reef! Any one have experience/opinions with a certain species being better than others, based on social behavior, shyness and what not.

Great thread. Thanks for the reference to the acclimation box. Just picked one up for future use, and hopefully for an addition of a wrasse if I get the order in this week. Plus, I need to get some netting to block these jumpers
