    True, I did forget about all the designer oscellaris out there! I do like the idea of flasher wrasses too. Decisions....

    They are...however they actually grow to 6-7" long; not the 4.5" that LA says. I do think they grow too large for a 55 :-/

    Stick with smaller Fairy, Flasher or Possum Wrasses for a 55. Those that grow to 3.5" or less.

    Even though some people disagree. I think a good fish for a 55 is a Coral Beauty. I had one in my 55g for 3 years and it did great.

    I agree. Any dwarf angel would be great in a 55. I've never had issues with my corals in the same tank.
