Most of all of your fairies and flashers are reef safe. It's just finding them thats the hard part. The Cirrhilabrus Genus family are the fairy wrasses that you want to look for. Most of them are quite spendy though.

I used to have a ruby headed fairy wrasse that I ordered from liveaquaria.com and I really liked it. It was different shades of blue, purple, and pink, mine didn't have any white on it. Probably one of my favorite fish so far, and it was reef safe.

Perhaps I would be better at basket weaving. . . at least it would be cheaper!

I like Carpenter's. They seem to be the least aggressive. I also like Mystery Wrasses.

It's almost like a light show but it's moving vibrant color. Looks beautiful.

In the second pic that is one Phat Blue Tang, I mean fat Blue Tang. He obviously eats well.
The Red Tail Tamarine is one of my favorites as well. I'd love to find one for my tank someday.

He is a porker! MSM has the tamarins all the time and he has real good success with them. I got mine from them about 5 months ago.

Maybe that's why they call them Hippo Tangs

I loved my six line wrasse. That is until it got sucked up in a power head. I took the filter off for cleaning. Leason learned. Turn off the power head while cleaning the filters.
It was really colorful and was the most active fish in my tank. It loved swimming in and out of all of the rock. Despite what I have read, it was freindly to all of the other fish in the tank. It also was one of the first in the tank.
