Lyre tail anthias or carpenters wrasse?

[jstew600]

I have a coral beauty, splendid dottyback, and 2 false percula clowns. Which would be a better fit in a 120 gallon reef: lyertais or fairy wrasse such as carpenters?
Thanks

I would go with a fairy wrasse.

Also, a carpenters is a flasher (paracheilinus), not a fairy (cirrhilabrus).

Also if I get 2 female lyre tail will they stay female or will one change and then fight ?

Don't get two. Get 3. With two, one will bully and kill the other. With 3 you'll have a pecking order and the dominant female could turn to a male.

I have a school of 5 lyre tails in my 150 and they're awesome fish, eat constantly too, the females will peck on each other some too
