    Hello,

    I saw a beautiful tank this weekend (69 gallons) and it had a tonne of coral plus two clown fish, a fire dwarf angelfish, a foxface fish, a tang, and two wrasses. I believe, from looking up wrasses online, that the species of wrasse was a Klunzinger's Wrasse based on the colouration and patterns. However, I see that Klunzinger's Wrasses are not reef safe and very aggressive. Does anyone have any idea what wrasse looks similar to the Klunzinger and is reef safe?

    Thanks!

    Check out the Halichores genus. While not exactly similar, there are several that have somewhat similar colors and patterns.
