I just lost my Lunare Wrasse after 3 good years. He was a great fish! I want to get another wrasse, but something different. I've got a 215 gallon tanks so size isn't an issue. But I have triggers, passer angel, puffer, etc. so it needs to be one of the big tougher wrasses to hold it's own! Recommendations?

If your tank was bigger I'd say Broomtail, but I'm going to have to agree with Dan.

harlequin tusks are great looking and they look like bi bullies, but I feel they may not be assertive enough:bum:

have you given any thought to any of the hogs?

I think the cuban hog or spanish hog would be great!

...and they are HARDY! Only way they die is by digging around for them to "see if they're still in the tank" or it jumps out.
