Im looking to get my next wrasse in a few weeks and I was wondering which one you would pick for a 130 gallon reef?

Thanks!

Is the top completely covered?

Mine is about 95% covered with glass tops and at 3 am last night, just before I headed off to sleep, one of my fairy wrasses went carpet surfing. Good thing I stayed up an extra few minutes or it would have been a crispy critter in the morning.

Rhomboid is on the top of my list but if you haven't got a flame yet. Not all amazing wrasses has to be an expensive one, another one of my personal favorite is red or white tail tamarin.

I'm really surprised the scotts is the most popular, I would have thought that the lineatus would be the most popular

I recommend the wrasse you like most, not what's popular :)

Word! Buy the fish YOU love not what other people love. The best way to do this is to go to a site that has the most fish listed, like liveaquaria, and look up all the fish you are interested in. Come back to a discussion board and ask specific questions about the fish you like.

I know, and that's what I'll do, I was just curious to see what other people think!
