Suggestions on reef-safe wrasse

[Montrosereef]

[FONT=&quot]I added 3 wrasses described as peaceful from Liveaquaria to a 65g tank. 1 [/FONT]Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse, 1 McCosker's Flasher, and 1 Carpenter's Flasher, 1 [FONT=&quot]male and 2 female. I found that [/FONT]the Whip Fin Fairy likes to attack McCosker's[FONT=&quot] and Carpenter's has never showed up after in the tank. I only have the [/FONT]Whip Fin Fairy in the tank. I would like to add 2 more reef-safe wrasse. Any suggestions from your experience? [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Whip fins are rather aggressive towards other wrasses, and in that size of a tank, I wouldn't recommend any other wrasses so long as the whip fin is present.

The Whip Fin is a very aggressive wrasse. They don't play well with other wrasses in general.

[FONT=&amp]Ya, I got it from Liveaquaria[/FONT] and it says peaceful. really a misinformation.

 

[buddythelion]

To be fair, it's not really misinformation. They are relatively peaceful with other fish, which is what I think they meant. In terms of with other wrasses, not so much. The compatibility chart they have on the site lists the Reef safe wrasses with each other as caution.

Sounds like the easiest and best option would be to relocate the whip fin to another good home and get yourselves some other fairy wrasses! What wrasses did you have in mind?

I got some suggestion that halicheores genus may work and usually they don't touch hermits and snails. I wonder if I should get all females.I am thinking adding 1 male hoevens and 1 Yellow coris. Gender shouldn't be an issue I hope.
