    Which "Green Wrasse" are you referring to? I assume Halichoeres chloropterus. If so, there are a couple of better options IMO, including H. biocellatus, H. claudia, H. chrysus, H. cosmetus, and H. melanurus. They all reach a smaller adult size, and also more mellow.

    Speaking of Christmas Wrasses, if I got two juveniles would one turn into a male and the other a female? I am asking this because, I think I heard that Fairy and Flasher Wrasses do this.

    Fairy and Flasher Wrasses will do this, although sometimes they both end up male. Not always the same with other genera though. Sometimes one will change, sometimes neither. Evolved would better be able to sneer that specific question though. I would post it in his "All about reef safe wrasses thread".
