Scott's Fairie Wrasse?

I was thinking of adding a Cirrhilabrus scottorum to my 180. Tank mates will be foxface rabbit, hippo tang, powder blue tang, Sohol tang, Klein's butterfly, flame angel, 4 convict blennies. I'd like to have your input as to personality, etc. and any other info you have about these wrasses.
Thanks

I have never had one personally , but understand they like to carpet surf so make sure you have something on the tank top like glass or egg crate to keep the little guy where he belongs They do look cool .

Yes, it's a beautiful fish. but I think I've already decided against it. Seems that all wrasses are hyperactive to some extent or other and too much dashing about is irritating to me. It would be nearly impossible to get the fish out of that size tank with 200 lbs. of live rock, so I'm not going to chance it. I'm open to any suggestions as to a nice quiet bright bottom feeder, though.

Red scooter Blenny Perhaps? I think these fish are cool and each gets a personality of thier own.

you could even go with a pair of red scooters, if you want your pods to disappear though you might as well go with a mandarin.

I like any goby also.

Yes. I was thinking of being able to keep a mandarin with my abundance of live rock and large sand bed. I may wait a few months though, just to make sure there would be way too much life for the mandarin to deplete. Red scooter blennies is a good idea too. A friend suggested an orange spotted goby, which would be cool if I could get a shrimp to go with it.
