75g fowlr - would like to add a COLORFUL, HEARTY, VERY ACTIVE WRASSE. I know the lunar wrasse gets very large. Are there any wrasses that fit my description that don't get huge like the lunar?
Thanks for help.

:joy: sure are

I was asking the original poster what other fish they have...because if this is a FOWLR with, say, a lion or something, then smaller wrasses wouldn't be a good choice. I do like Coris and bird nose, bluehead, paddlefin wrasse, etc...but it is important to know more about the tank, inhabitants, and future goals.

4/5" or so. They are beautiful. And I agree on the long finned, being a good community fish.
The tankmates are to be considered, as Ophiura has said. Most wrasse are fairly docile, MYOB fish...you don't want to risk that loss.

i have a lunare, boy he is a jerk! he pushes everyone around and slammed my clown fish into my urchin and now the clownfish had these 2 little puncture marks on him. So i decided to take him out of the 125 and put him in the qt tank downstairs, its a 30 gallon. That jerk made me take every stinking pound of rock out of the tank in order to chase his ass around. Finally 2 hours later i got him and at this point I almost wanted to flush him down the toilet. I didnt I put him downstairs and now when he sees me coming he plays dead and shoots for the only rock in the place. Theres no substrate though so he just lays on his side looking dead until i am outta site then he eats. Hes gorgoues but destructive. I think hes cost me in a lot of fish..... :thinking:

So, you don't suggest a lunare?
I've heard them called lunaretics.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have a fowlr - no future plans for coral.
Current inhabitants are:
1 perc
1 Flame angel
1 Midas Blenny
1 Blue spot puffer
Future inhabitant plans are 2-3 more colorful, active, hearty fish.
Thanks for all of the wrasse choices.
