How many wrasses is socially acceptable?

Asking for a friend ;)
I’ve got 2 in a 90. I figure I could add at least 3-4 more depending on the scape and available sand. If you have mid strata wrasses that don’t bury maybe a couple more if you want a wrassy tank

Inconceivable!
My wife's favorite movie. Or at least it used to be. :thinking-face: It might be a toss up between Princess Bride and Nacho Libre now.

Princess bride for sure! I think the only one that beats it in this house is Serenity for her and Scott Pilgrim for me.

Well, is it really wrasses if you don’t have Atleast 5-6?
These guys seem to agree ;)

Dusky Wrasse. I need one next? Do they eat ginormous stars as well or just the small ones?

IMG_20231028_135758565.jpg
Pretty sure mine ate any size, not confirmed it was him but seems most likely. He also ate all my feather dusters though :loudly-crying-face: Can't wait to get the tanks split back up so I can start adding them again when he's separated.
Harlequin Shrimp maybe? Or will the wrasses use it for lunch?
Absolutely would be lunch for a dusky, at least once it's big enough. Others maybe not.

Both me and @i cant think have a ton of wrasse and have also had huge issues with coral eating asterinas. One of my wrasse was a dusky too. Definitely did not eat the asterinas.

If you want a wrasse that eats them then I think you need a thalassoma wrasse but unfortunately they are very aggressive. My little 2.5” one has killed two urchins as big as it is.
