 |  Wrasse recommendations?
I'm wanting to add one more fish to my tank (after replenishing my firefish goby - see other post in same forum). Was thinking perhaps a wrasse of some sort? I had a Christmas Wrasse for a bit (was a disaster - although I loved the fish). I read the stuff about the fish of the month (fairy wrasse). Would that one be a good one do you think? Any other wrasses that might work out in my tank? Or should I not be adding any more fish? Want to be adding more corals to the tank eventually.
My other thought was perhaps a yellow tang or cardinal fish? Any other suggestions?

I would avoid Tangs. As your Tank is a little small.
But there are a lot of great Wrasses out there.
Wrasses need to be researched prior to buying, just because many are not reef safe or will eat inverts.
To name a few Reef safe wrasses:
Six Line
Eight Line
Fairy(100s of different kinds)
Flasher(100s of different kinds)
Lubbocks
Red Velvet
So on and so on
