Hi everyone, I am new on this forum but I have been in and out of the hobby for quite a few years now. I will be setting a new reef tank (60gals) soon, so I am already planning for stocking. Most likely it will have a pair of clownfish, one lawnmower blenny and one royal gramma. Then I would like to add a wrasse, mainly to take care of some of possible pests. The options I am exploring so far are:

- Yellow coris wrasse
- Melanurus wrasee
- Six Line wrasse

Out of the 3 which one do you recommend for the tank size and is safer to corals and invertebrates. Also, can I keep a combination of two of those wrasses or would they fight among each other?

Thanks for the help!!!

How about a yellow banned possum. The Melanurus as it gets meaner as it ages. The six line can get aggressive towards peaceful wrasses and other peaceful fish, if its the tank doesn't have places to hide
