I have a Purple Tilefish (hoplolatilus purpureus) in my 112 gallon tank that's been doing great for about a year now.

I've been thinking of adding a Redlined Tilefish (hoplolatilus marcosi). I had one years ago and just love the coloration

Would these 2 fish get along? Or should I expect there to be issues?

Quick reading seems to indicate "maybe".

Your tank is plenty big to have both - If you have good aqua scape as well, then you could certainly try it.

I would not do this without a lid however. If either get spooked they might very well decide to carpet surf.
