Lineatus.

If its not acclimated properly on the acend when harvested from the deep waters they will not last. Assuming it is acclimated properly getting it to eat after its introduced into a tank life can be difficult and time consuming. starting with live foods and switching to prepared foods can bee tricky. I unfortunately jumped on one for a good price that did not make it through the quaratine period after 3 weeks of dealing with abnormal swiming from improper acclimation. with in a day it was swimming upside down. I have not tried a sccott fairy but know a few that have them succesfully. I had a Leboute for 3 years until it decided to floor dive 4 moths ago. (awesome wrasse, and in the market for another)So my vote goes for lineatus.

Red Margin
Sometimes, what others say is 'difficult' turns out to be hardy. For example, I have a Indonesian Regal angel, which survived Sandy power outage, while half of other fish died (alledgedly 'easier' , like antheas, chromis..) . I've had it for about a year with no problems.
 
I went with a hooded fairy I've had all of the wrasses mentioned at one point or another and found that in my personal experience I had difficulties with a hooded

Almost forgot to come back here and vote. Thanks for the clarification Sunny.

Now I can take a wild guess since I have no clue about any of these wrasses.... and say Labouti.
 
Although I would have said the laboute it sounds like someone is being a little pugnacious... Red Margin gets my vote.

I did vote for Lineatus. However, please do not include me in this as I still don't have a tank. Just testing my own knowledge.

Max, if you win you still get the frag pack when you are ready. Nothing different than what I did for some other winners in the past.
