Current stock in a 90 gallon mixed reef tank with 3 inch sand bed and a lot of rock work.
Very tiny 6 line
Coral beauty
Goby/shrimp pair
Paired clowns
Clouded wrasse
Midas blenny
Lawnmower blenny
Filefish


Looking to add a melanurus wrasse in. He will be about the same size of my clouded wrasse, which is about 4 inches. My 6 line is very new and about an inch.

Would they all get along? Not worried much about my CUC

I wouldn’t do any other wrasses when you have a six line. The Sixlines are known for being nasty and even more so towards wrasses of a similar body shape.
Halichoeres nebulosus is also known for being relatively nasty towards similar wrasses and likely won’t play nicely with a melanurus.
