I am looking/requesting information on reef safe wrasses. Which ones would you guys suggest? Please include colors,size,price,hardiness
Also which "sand sifting" gobies are the "best" at cleaning up the sand? Looking for one that won't scoop up the sand, swim to the top and dump sand all over my corals if this is even possible for this species. I know you'll say get a cuc but it's kinda hard with HARLEY(the harlequin tusk) always on the prowl

What size tank?
A harlequin tusk is not reef safe!

Tank is 240 gallons, plumbed into a 125 gallon sump and 75 gallon fuge
Tusk are not reef safe cause they eat corals but because they will eat snails,shrimps,crabs,etc. there should be 2 different categories when it comes to reef safe.

Following as well. Although my tank is 75, looking for some reef safe (both ways) wrasses I can add for some movement and color!

I had a tusk and a mel. wrasse at one time. snails def on the menu currently I have an orange back, Lubbock, pair of pylie (spelling) wrasse in my tank with hermits, shrimp, and snails with no issues at all. the orange back has great coloring to it pop coral had pics of hooded wrasse up they looked sharp

I have a yellow coris wrasse. Was supposed to be a white bellied yellow corris. Damn liars. I will probably get another. He is so bright. I was told though that the cheaper the wrasses are the more problems they are. I'm liking the carpenters wrasse and the fisher wrasse I think it's called. The colors are awesome

Just picked up a nice flasher wrasse. Which ones are a little bigger than these little ones?

I scooped up a mystery wrasse yesterday. Really beautiful fish.

Yes nice wrasse. Where did you get yours? Pm price you paid if you don't mind

Instead of me making a list of 50 plus fairy/flasher wrasse's, all are reef safe ( fairy/flasher) wise. Mystery wrasse can get big and will eat shrimp and snails, ive personally never had a issue with melanaruas wrasse bothering inverts, also know two people with tusk in full blown reefs with no issue's. Now the only fairy wrasse that ive owned and ive had 20 plus different species was a pylie wrasse that can get aggressive, others can but thats can depend when added or whats in there

Now you know 3 people with tusk and have no problem. Melanurus wrasse are nice. I will have to google search reef safe wrasses and see what comes up. Looking for brightly colored ones
