What are some colorful wrasses?

[Salty Brother]

Just wondering, I wanted to get some kind of colorful wrasse, and it would be cool if people could give me pics. But it has to be under 60 bucks
Thanks

Check out the Flasher and Fairy wrasse threads at the top of the Reef Fish forum...

Yes, Flasher Wrasse, Fairy Wrasse, Lined Wrasses, and Coris Wrasses are all very colorful fish.

One of my favorite wrasses has always been the Red Coris Wrasse. They are absolutely gorgeous, but not reef safe. I know they'll kill shrimp and crabs, not sure on snails. If you're looking for something reef safe, you probably want to stick with fairy and flasher wrasses, or maybe a Halichoeres like the Yellow Coris (it's not actually a Coris wrasse despite the name).

If you're willing to order online, LiveAquaria occasionally has nice prices on some beautiful fairy wrasses. For a while they were selling Scott's Fairy Wrasses for $50, a great deal.

I'll second the Carpenter Wrasse. Great looking active fish, hardy, and not too expensive.

This is my Solaris Wrasse. I love it! I think I paid $35 for it.

Ok, I really like the carpenters wrasse. I like the colors a lot, and do most of them show the blue stripes on them?
Thanks again

I think one of the nicer, reasonably priced wrasses has to be the solar wrasse, sometimes called the red head fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus solorensis).

Here's a couple of pics of mine. I paid about $50 for it.

Nice peaceful fish, never bothers anything.
