I have the Maldives McCosker Wrasse, Dusky Wrasse and Line Spot Flasher Wrasse in 180 gal. with a few other types of fish. I wanted another wrasse from Petco and wondered what might get along with these? I would like something reef safe and that looks the most different. I like the Blueside Fairy Wrasse, Hooded Flame Fairy Wrasse or Redfin Fairy Wrasse. Would one of these work with what I have or can you suggest others (that Petco carries). TY!

Any ones of those would be a great addition. Especially with the size of tan you have. I always am concerned with adding any new fish to the display.

One thing I like to use to help get any surface parasites off is Safety Stop 2 part rapid quarantine. The other is an acclimator that like one at Melevsreef.com that allows the current fish get use to the new one. His site has one for both rimless and rimmed tanks that go for $100. They are custom made to the tank and you keep the new fella in over several days until all lose interest in each other.
