possibly a six line? Most fairy and flasher wrasses need a bigger tank than a 30g

What Sugar said.
Very active and passive unlike a six line who believes it is a damsel in disguise.

the green coris is nice too active, but not nuts. six lines can be a handful for potential tankmates.

i would really not put a green coris wrasse in a 30 gallon!

they easily reach 7 inch
i have mine in a 130 gallon, which is getting too small in my opinion
i have it for 8months now

this is when i got it, 2 inch, still a baby. july 2009

here it is now, about 5inch, a subadult, march 2010

a friend of mine has one wich is 8inch! it was so big, i asked him what fish it was, he told me it was a green coris wrasse and i recognized it
they get really big

some flasher wrasses can be kept in smaller tanks. Look at the blue flasher, I believe.

There is a thread in the nano section that has a title along the lines of "top 10 nano fish" or something like that. They talk about wrasses in there. I'd search for it for you, but it isn't even working for premium members now.

the tank is abit small but a leopard wrasse would be your best bet because they are very passive and really take quite a bit of time before they get very large.at there largest they would be okay in that tank IMO .
