Carpenter's flasher wrasse

[MichaelReefer]

Hello!

I have had a Carpenter's flasher wrasse for over a year now, super healthy and active.

My question is will she be ok with other Wrasse? Or how about a Mandarin Goby?

Yes to the Goby. How big is your tank? If you add other wrasse, I would use acclimation box when introducing but should be fine.

Reefer 250.

What wrasse are you thinking? Another flasher would work. 65 gallons is kinda small for certain Cirrhilabrus wrasse.

Another flasher will be fine, just not another carpenters.

If it's a larger wrasse, it may well harass the Carpenter's, even if not the same species or genus.
This has been my experience with adding a melanurus, for example.

mine is super mellow. One of the easiest fish Ive ever kept. Usually cruises the tank with my crescent wrasse. I think you'll be ok with another peaceful wrasse but be aware because of your tank size. Not a great deal of room for them
