Diamond Tail Flasher?
Bells Flasher?
Mystery Wrasse?

Hi Fellas, been thinking a lot about my stocking list. It’s a 100 Gallon Tank and here is what I have reached so far and need some pointers.


2- Leopard Wrasses
With the below
  1. Lubbock Fairy Wrasse (Cirrihilabrus Lubbocki)
  2. Exquisite Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus Exquistus)
  3. Carpenter Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus carpenteri)
  4. Yellow Wrasse ( Halichoeres chrysus)
  5. A Pair of Clown
  6. A Royal Gramma
  7. A Diamond Goby ( Sand Sifting)
  8. Bi-Color Blenny ( Not a must have )
  9. Blue Tang ( Not a must have )

Will any of the fish here cause issues against each other ? Mainly cause issues to the wrasse ? I also was wondering if the goby would get into conflicts with sand sleeping wrasses ?

Thanks
I have a few wrasse in 6 foot tank, which also have the fish include most that's on your list plus some. There isn't any issue with aggression. Sometimes it has been recorded, fairy wrasse would get into if they have the same colors and not much space. The multiple tangs in the tank don't even look at the wrasse. From my experience Diamond Gobies would only fight for the cave they have built. They really are a peaceful fish.

Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve been active - decided to go up to one of the UK’s first reefing events as an exhibitor for my LFS.

So, here’s some wrasse updates! Not much has happened other than earlier I moved the wrasses out of observation and into the main tank (oh and moved the Kaleidos into this tank too).

I saw reef dorks videos on… aquashella UK? … looked fun actually. I may have to go to one in the US despite my anti-socialness
It’s almost identical to Aquashella but they called it AquaH. Was definitely fun but exhausting as an exhibitor.

I just got a sweet new fish.. a Tahitian Yellow Yellow Hawkfish. He is about 3.5-4” including tail. I would think he a ts similar to an arc eye hawkfish.

I have several small juv/female wrasse including a melanurus, a redline and a radiant wrasse… these 3 are around 2.5”. Anyone know of any arc eyes hawkfish eat smaller wrasse?

Also have a rhomboid but he is 3” and i think he will be okay.

I had a female peacock wrasse for around 18 months, went on holiday for 2 weeks and she has become a he. Can I now go get a new female in the hope of them pairing up or will adding another peacock just end up badly?

Is the Hologymnosus peaceful? been contemplating getting one but they're expensive over here and they just kinda seem like they'd be aggressive

Would probably eat them if they fit in the hawks mouth
