I would like opinions on adding a pair to my tank. Its a red sea s650 measuring 60x25x25 mixed reef with an extremely open scape 95 pounds of rock. These will be my last and complete the tank. I already have:
Purple tang
Kole tang
Lemon mimic tang
Convict tang
2 onyx percula clowns
2 yellow clown gobies
4 female of lyretail
1 male
blue star lepord wrasse
exquisite wrasse
green corris wrasse
Horseface blenny

That should be fine.

Although unrelated to the crosshatch pr, I would recommend removing the green coris wrasse before it becomes aggressive toward the leopard and exquisite wrasses.

@eatbreakfast you find they become aggressive once established? So far he has been a model citizen. Leaving all other fish alone, spending his time foraging and hunting. I have had him for a bit over 2 months now.

Very mich so. In 6-12 months be prepared to see increased aggression toward the other wrasses from the green coris.
