    I'm trying to decide on a wrasse for my tank. I have 2 tangs , 3 anthias , 2 clowns and 3 firefish right now. The tank is 220 gallons.
    What do you guys think would be a good addition? Hopefully evolved will chime in.

    You could go with just about any reef safe wrasse with your tank size. Halichoeres species, flashers and fairy wrasses are all reef safe and good additions.

    Labout's and Lineatus wrasses are colorful. A Christmas wrasse that is a Halichoeres and Melanurus are quite colorful.

    I'd get one of the lineatus, I want one but am not sure about forking over nearly $200 for one.
