That is a pretty small tank for any wrasse, IMO. What other fish do you currently have?
sixline or lubbock's fairy wrasse would be ok.
EDIT: Check out MarvinsReef's old 28g NC too. It is/was a GORGEOUS tank with all types of great fish including HI Flame Wrasse

2 Clownfish and 1 firefish... I have seen lots of people with wrasses in their Nano's, so I figured it would be alright, but I'm not going to put anything in there I shouldn't. I had a yellow clown goby but it nipped at my acans... Maybe a yasha goby.

I'm a bit scared of getting a sixline since they get aggressive in small tanks. The Lubbock's is nice, although I'm a big fan of flashers. Is a McCosker's okay?
Yasha gobies are awesome, I have one in my 40 breeder that is paired with a pistol shrimp, very cool to watch them. A possum wrasse might be a good fit.
Marvin got away with a pair of flames in his but then again Marvin is pro. Aren't you planning to upgrade to a 125g? Why not wait until you get that up and running but if you can't i'm sure you can get away with it for awhile.

I can't do the 125 anymore, I have to save money for college. I'm upgrading to a 57 Illuminata or, if I can afford it, a 36x24x24 90g. I really like the flame wrasse.... what is tough to keep about it?
I wouldn't put a Sixline or Mystery/8/12line wrasse anymore in a tank smaller than 180g they can get very aggressive towards new additions later on. I've had large Blenny's and female Anthias killed in the past by them, even ones that were in the tank already established prior to the wrasse addition. Though I have seen some passive ones its usually in tanks with a lot of fish. In my experience they become more aggressive the less fish you have and if its the only wrasse in the tank.
I think a good wrasse for a 29g is a small Fairy like a Lubbock's or a small Yellow Coris. They would both outgrow the tank eventually though especially Coris.
