Is adding a Tusk to an established Thalassoma ill-advised?

In that tank size, you’ll likely end up having to remove both.
These are two wrasses that get rather large and aggressive and eventually risk killing and eating your smaller more timid fish.
 
Only have the Thalassoma, why I was asking if adding a Tusk or other wrasse would be ill-advised. My plan was to add a smaller growing Trigger and a White Tail bristle tooth, but was flirting with the idea of the Tusk. Just putting my 'feelers' out. So will keep the Thalassoma for now. He and the Tomato clown share the same cave together side-by-side...they get along fine for now, but still makes me nervous lol. I have always wanted to keep a Lunar or Banana. We will see how this male turns out. He is super inquisitive and knows everything going on in the tank lol.
