I have a mystery wrasse what other reef safe wrasses can I add?
Exactly, I’d strongly advise against other wrasse with these guys, they get very very nasty. They can decide overnight to kill their wrasse tankmates. As they grow larger they seem to get significantly more aggressive.From Hunters article "All about reef safe wrasses in aquaria"
"There are two exceptions to mixing wrasses which must always be avoided: 1) various species of wrasses of the genus Pseudocheilinus should not be mixed in the same system. In fact, Pseudocheilinus wrasses should be outright avoided if you desire multiple wrasses at all. And 2) caution should be expressed when mixing various species within the Macropharyngodon genus, especially two males. The bigger your tank, the more likely you will be successful here."

What size tank do you have?
Definitely use an acclimation box if you try to add another wrasse.
