    Six line wrasse is not compatible with the ruby head wrasse.

    see getting a small tang would be nice...but eventually im gonna have to move it and ive done that be4 and have to rip my buddies reef apart to catch a yellow tang in his 55 gal when he got too big...id rather keep a resident that would be comfortable in 46 gallons

    Even a small Tang would outgrow your 46 gallon fast. :)

    I would go with a dwarf angel maybe a Coral Beauty or a Multicolor angel.

    Dwarf angel would be a nice showpiece. Many are very bright and extremely active.
