Mixing Wrasses - Not trying to be lazy

[MotoJJ]

Hi,
I have read the Wrasse Guys chart and website and his help has been invaluable ( especially acclimation boxes)

I have a FO tank and am wondering if I can mix a Christmas Wrasse with a Melanurus Wrasse?

BTW, I currently have a Melanurus, Red Corsis, Yellow Corsis, Pintale Fairy, Tri-color, Orange Back, and Blue Leopard all living peacefully together.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Mixing Halichoeres can be difficult as the whole genus is a mess taxonomically. Melanurus are known to be one of the harder Halichoeres to mix though and can be bully new wrasses. If you do try it I suggest an acclimation box. The bigger worry will be the red coris assuming you mean Coris gaimard. As you hopefully know they are a giant species of wrasse that gets to over a foot long and very aggressive later in life.

Also there is no yellow corsis or coris wrasse. You mean the common gold/yellow/ Halichoeres chrysus.
