Adding wrasses to new tank with Hogs

Hartz57 · Feb 6, 2023

Hi from Santa Barbara. Im new to Reef2reef but not new to reefing. 20 plus years. Starting a new RedSea 425 Gen. 2 after my old one split at seam. Tank is 4 months old. Doing well. I have 2 Yellow Candy Hogfish and 2 small Oscillaris Clowns with a Tomini and Flame Back coming next week after quarantine (Dr reef quarantine Fish) . Would like to add wrasses but I do have the Hogs which I do really like. They have been perfect gentlemen to the Clowns which came in several weeks after. I put the Hogs in not knowing their reputation. Question: Can I put other wrasses in with them and what do you all recommend
Thanks!

It’s unlikely your hogs will allow any other wrasse, these guys are nasty with other Labrids that are more peaceful than them.
