Reef Safe Wrasses?

[jacknjill]

Is there any reef safe wrasses besides the 6 and 4 lines? Something that is longer and colorful, like the lunare, but reef safe?

Even though they might be reef safe, some are actually very predatory and can destroy your shrimp/snail/crab population, like the lunare wrasse. I had a Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse, which was a great fish. Good eater, active swimmer, and more affordable than the fairy wrasses. They put on neat displays when they are around other wrasses, although mine did it when my clown fish got close to it.
