Hello. I have a 60x30x24 180g being built and should be here late March or early April. I know wrasse compatibility threads pop up all the time, but I didn't want to hijack.

I currently have;
African exquisite, male
Crescent tail(cf lunatus), transitioning

Amongst some flashers and a couple halichoeres, I'd also like to add a few more fairy wrasses. Lineatus, rhomboidalis, solorensis, jordani come to mind. Heck, I'd love a labouti if you guys think it won't harass the others too much.
That said, I'd REALLY like to add a brunneus once the new tank arrives. I had one for about 2 weeks in qt but he passed due to prazi resistant flukes. That guy was stunning. What are the odds of it and the crescent tail playing nicely? I do have an EA acclimation box

Thank you!
 
They are very closely related, it is unlikely a lunatus will accept a brunneus.
 
That was more or less what I expected to hear. Thank you.

Do you think the labouti would be too much of a bully towards the others I listed?

I'd put the Labouti in last out of that list.
 
Having a few other fairy and flasher wrasses diffuses aggression, and adding aftwards helps it not be so dominant.
