I have a Reefer 750 XXL (160 gallon tank, 40 gallon sump). It will be a mixed reef if I can get some things settled on the coral side.

I have a Bipartitus Leopard Wrasse. Have a Pyramid butterfly and a pair of Blood Orange clowns (P. biaculeatus x A. ocellaris)

I am about to have my LFS buy and QT some more wrasses. I was thinking about adding:

Halichoeres iridis
McCosker's or Carpenter or Diamond-Tail (Paracheilinus attenuatussome) other flasher wrasse
Rubiventralis or Kwazulu fairy wrasse

Would those three work with my existing Leopard? The leopard is my fave, so keeping her happy is most important. Ultimately will add Bluethroat Trigger, Genicanthus angel, and some tangs.

TIA
 
Yeah it should work. I have similar size tank as yours and I have 5 different leopards, 1 flasher(diamond tail) 5 fairy, and radiant wrasse.

I know this is VERY late however:
Yes, those three would would well. Just watch out for aggression from fairies and flashers being together.
