    I saw a really pretty wrasse blue head, but the lady at lfs said it would be aggressive towards the exquisite but I can't find anything about that?

    Ha. You've picked the one cirrhilabrus that always wants to be king over other cirrhilabrus. Clown heads (blue head) can be a bit hostile sometimes. Considering you'd be adding him second, he'd be less likely to act this way, but you never know.

    Wait, hold on. Let's be clear on what you're calling a blue head. Find a generic picture.

    I just think it's got such pretty colors, but I don't want to stress any one

    And that's what I was afraid of after I posted. You MUST pay attention to genus. This is a Thalassoma and will be a bad, bad mix; not to mention that blue head is not reef safe. It'll destroy your aquascape looking for food and devour your inverts.

    Look at other cirrhilabrus to add with the exquisite.
