so i just finished all my rock work and im pretty much down with all my equipment and sump setup, now im ready to add fish, all i have in the tank is a caramel clown, and a six-line wrasse from my previous tank, what other wrasse can i add to the tank? reef safe i assume, but some sights say some are and some say some arent, like the malenurus wrasse, and teh christmas wrasse, i would love to have one so colorful, thanks in advance guys, (y)
 
I added a fary wrasse to my tank which has a six line wrasse. I had to remove him because the six line nearly ripped him apart. Nasty little guys IMO.
 
It doesn't always come down to size in nature. A small damsel fish can terrorize a big angel. It really depends on the fish. But trying to catch him afterwards could be a pain.
 
I had to catch mine, used a 2 liter bottle with the top cut off and flipped around. Put some food Inside and let it sit. Took about an hour till he went in. I had to get mine out cause he was terrorizing a firefish and fairy wrasse. Funny thing he was fine until I added a foxface to the tank, then he went nuts on the other fish.

Thats an odd story, I love my six-line I just hope he doesn't snap one day and start effin things up. So far he's very chill and laid back, but I wanna be careful.
