I also have caught the Wrasse bug. I was wondering how many Fairy, and Flasher Wrasses can go into my system. I do have a very bare aquascape, but have many hiding places. I did purchase a acculmation box for the newbies. So far there is no aggression in the tank between the wrasses and anthsis.
Here is my current stock list:

3 Maldives Lyretail Anthias (1 male 2 Females)
1 Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
1 Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse
1 Cleaner Wrasse
1 Pink Margin (still in qt at LFS)
1 Red Sea 8 lined Flasher (due in next week)
 
Wrasses are small, so you can put quite a few in there. I don't think there is a way to say "You can only have 10, or 20" so it all depends on your tank, your individual fish, etc.

Just take it slow, add the fish you want to add after doing the research. Keep in mind there are a few aggressive fairy wrasses as well.
 
A local vendor who orders fish and inverts for p/u only. His supplier had some available this week so I grabbed one quickly. I did made sure it was from the Red Sea, and not Hawaii. I really can't wait for it to come in next week. I'll post pics when I get it.
 
Would be sweet if the Red Sea stuff started to show up again. With the craziness going on over in that region of the world its wishful thinking. I also have been lookin for some time for a 8lined flasher. You lucky dog!
 
From my understanding, the stuff in the Red Sea is starting to show up again.
