Please give me a recommendation on peaceful wrasse that's easy to keep/hardy and will most likely to eat reef pests such as FW, pyramid snails, etc.

I like my six line wrasse but many say their's are terrors and harass other fish. mine is well behaved and eats pests and has interesting personality.

Yes, too many horror stories with six line. I'm trying to avoid them if I can.

Don't know if you keep shrimp or not but lunar wrasses are pretty cool. I have one that is around 5" and is hilarious. Colors are extreme and get better with time. Won't touch corals at all but will tear up some shrimp. Mines not aggessive at all just very active especially at feeding time.

Don't lunar wrasses eat hermits and other clean-up crew? I don't have shrimp and willing to sacrifice not having one. How's it with clam?

I like mystery wrasse, but I hear they can also become pretty aggressive?

How's melanarus wrasse? Are they one of those wrasses that are difficult to keep like leopard wrasse? Swimming healthy and happy one day, but dead the next day (that's my experience with leopards, and don't want to experience that again)

My mystery wrasse is not at all aggresive I did have a melanarus wrasse and he was not agressive but he did die but i had a crash in my aquarium and thats why he died
