Wrasse choice for a 180g.

I was goin

I was going with the melegris leopard. I have thought about just doing 1 to be safe.

I have heard 1 leopard or should do like 4 just in case one transitions so the aggression is dispersed.

ok I'm close to pulling the trigger. Here's my plan.
2-leopard
Angular flasher
Carpenter
Checkerboard
Wardley
Exquisite
Nako
Mccoskers
Gridled

Any suggestions or think they would work?

Cut the checkerboard, they get very big and are notoriously aggressive

What's your thoughts on Christmas wrasse? Or maybe just a coris and be done with it. I really love the blue throat, and yellow flanked but they can be mean from the list so I didn't add them.
Option B wait a month and hope a few more are avalible

So there are several wrasse called Christmas wrasse and Coris is a genus of wrasse consisting of 28 species most of which are way too big for the average tank?

H. claudia is a great choice. H. chrysis is NOT a Yellow Coris Wrasse. As you can see, it is a Halichoeres wrasse, which roughly translates to "salty pig", which is exactly what they are. Nice fish. I miss mine.
