Im going to add at least one wrasse to my tank soon and am looking at one of the possum wrasses, but had the idea of mixing it with a yellow coris wrasse. I don't know a whole lot on mixing wrasses, but I think it could be possible as they are both more peaceful species of wrasses and come from the same region. Adding them in at the same time with lights off and feeding I think could possibly make it work, but was just wondering on what others think.
 
I was recently directed to this chart for some wrasse compatibility. I also recommend dropping in on the wrasse lovers thread

What size is the tank?

If I’m honest mixing wrasses is insanely easy! You just need the right guidance which is where we come in :)
In these photos you can see 4 out of my 15 wrasses in my main 5’ tank :)

The tank size is a 40g so I know the coris wrasse will eventually outgrow the tank, but ordering in one on the much smaller side isn't a problem for me, and rehoming is something that isn't a problem with me. The possum can live in there for life no worries, but I was just wondering if there was people out there who have done this before and think its a bad idea

What are the dimensions of the tank - You could find a Halichoeres will be alright long term as dimensions are key :)
