Yes, wrasses has a big family and is most colorful compared to others LS, common in captivity e.g. coris, Pseudoche/Dragon wrasse, Labroides/cleaner wrasse, Paracheiliuns/ flasher wrasse, cirrhilabrus/fairy wrasse, Macroph/Leopard wrasse. Thalasoma ect.

be careful when introduce into tank, some are not reef and invert safe. some need sand bed, some need hiding place ect.

But in general most fairy wrasse or flasher wrasser family are reef n invert safe and quite suitable for reef tank. their are also friendly to others tank mate.

hope this will help to new refeer
