All About Reef Safe Wrasses

But the other thing about a red coris is it will flip anything/everything it can looking for food. I wouldn't do that unless all your rockwork and corals are quite secure.

But not so nice towards any new additions once establish/mature.

Yup, pretty much. Stays small and constantly hunts for small stuff.

 

Figure I'll link my thread here. Basically, the question has come down to, can I safely do a rhomboid in a 50g breeder, can I do it with a solorensis wrasse, and can I do it with other high end fairy wrasses? Preferably with blue or black, what would you suggest?

A 50 simply isn't big enough for those. You should only consider Cirrhilabrus species which do not exceed 4".

 

Which complexes do you recommend?

 

You'll be limited to the rubriventralis, lubbocki, and johnsoni, but the first two all hold some which are rather aggressive and the third some which are rather expensive.

 

So cf. lancelotus is okay? I have a super male for $230 available. I already have a naoko in there.

 

In terms of size, the pintail is fine. But naoko may well pose an issue - usually pretty aggressive with other fairys and I would expect such in a tank of the size.

 

He's pretty tiny, about 2.5" where as the pintail is 3.5". Any idea roughly how much a C. brunneus goes for?

 

Not available (no collection).

 

Any idea what this wrasse is?
