With other fish but not other wrasses

 

[William Mumford]

No I would think it's a little small for him and some others

I have a yellow coris in my 40 breeder and he uses every inch of length as he patrols for pods

I would say that Halichoeres need a minimum of a 4 foot long tank. The only Wrasse I would put in a 30 Long (outside of a possum or pink streaked) would be a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse.

Why the lubbock’s? Just curious.

To put words in @Jesterrace 's mouth, Lubbock is among the smallest fairy wrasses. Another close cousin is the yellow fin. Pin tail is another small one.

Personally, I would rather see them in a 40 breeder, at least.. just my opinion

I would really like to put one in my 32g cube but I hesitate. Good to know that perhaps one of the smaller ones could work.

This is correct, I agree a 40 breeder would be more ideal but the 30 Long does at least have the same length as a 40 breeder. The other reason for the Lubbock's mention is that it's one of the few inexpensive fairy wrasses.

I personally would not put any wrasse in that tank long term except for a pink streak, possum or possibly a flasher. Lubbocki may only get 4" but they're a solid fish when fully transitioned as an adult, in no way are they a nano fish.

There are so many conflicting things out there. I'd like a flasher or a fairy wrasse. I do know it's iffy, and it's a new tank so I have a lot of time to research and decide as it'll be a while.

I'd defer to advice and opinion from @evolved and @eatbreakfast when it comes to wrasse. And I have a 4" adult, fully transitioned lubbocki, it bulled to the point I had to remove, a near 6" c. cyanopleura from a 65g reef ready tank. They were purchased before I knew better, because they were cheap at the LFS.

 

[evolved]

The only suitable wrasses for a 30g tank are possums or a pink streak.
It is not big enough for any Halichoeres.
