I’m in the process of cycling my 75g tank and whilst that’s been happening I’ve been making a list of the fish that work for the tank and on that list are a Splendid pencil wrasse (female) and a rosy scale wrasse (male). It’s also worth noting that I have 90lbs of rock and about 2.5 inches of live sand in the tank. I’m pretty sure it work because their from different genus and only one male but I’ve learned to always double check so please let me know.

Yep! There won’t be any issues from that mix :)
I have 2 pencils currently mixed with 14-16 other wrasses. I believe 7 are fairy wrasse and not one of them bothers with the pencils (I don’t currently own a finifenmaa specifically but have other close-ish related species).
 
Have a splendid day
Yep. I am having a Splending day.
Here are my two Male Splendid, doing OK in my 320. I bought what I thought was a male/female pair, but the female was in transition and become fully color male in 1 week in my tank.
