Here is a very long list of breedable fish, and only two wrasses are on there: Hogfish and Multicolorfin Wrasse.

Thats what i thought, As I said I was hesitant to post, but the pictures of the yellows wrasse really do show her with egss as opposed to fat from feeding.

When the six line spawned I had not actually fed the tank that day, so I know that was the case there as well. Their behaviour is very much different on the spawning night and all the other fish know food is about to appear.

I will try and video it next time (if there is a next time)...
