flasher wrasses any other one. They are not sand dwellers

Most fairy wrasses as well.

Flasher wrasses for sure, nothing in the Halichoeres genus.

Would they fight or anything like that if o added more wrasses and another other reef safe fish for my tank size

I had a buddy that was a wrasse lover and Bare bodom guy, he got a bowl of sand and placed it behind his rocks for his wrasse. now all are available.

I heard Six line is really mean so I don't want to add something too aggressive in the tank

Here's a great little thread from a few days ago that my help: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/favorite-reef-safe-wrasse-under-50.362515/#post-4485367

A RS 170 doesn't give a ton of space for displays and interactions for multiple fairy or flasher wrasses.

Wetmorella species and Pseudocheilinops ataenia, pink streak wrasse, are size appropriate.

Following as I also have a barebottom and was wondering the same.

I've read that thread before I posted this, that thread they didn't mention much about barebottom keeping wrasse

Off topic I know but those aquarium names always throw me off. I see 170 and I'm thinking 170 gallon. I suppose it is liters.

I like the both of the wrasse you've mentioned but I like the solar one more since it is reef safe

Solorensis should be in a tank larger than 34g. And a christmas wrasse should have access to a sandbed.

I've been liking naoko wrasse Lately can they do well in barebottom tank

W. tanakai all the way or any wetmorella sp. will do (like eatbreakfast mentioned above). Shy at first, but great to watch them roam around.

Only these genera require sand; other genera sleep in a mucus cocoon in the rockwork or crevices: Anampses, Halichoeres, Macropharyngodon, and Pseudojuloides.

Also does melanurus wrasse need sand thinking about getting one
