I have a 6' 180 gal. reef tank with a purple firefish, coral beauty angel, starry blenny, diamond goby, 2 ocelleris clowns, foxface, melanarus wrasse, McCosker's Wrasse, line-spot wrasse and dusky wrasse.

I would like to add 1 or 2 blue star leopard wrasses. Will this be ok? I have a mesh divider I use to introduce new fish. Keeping the tank divided in 2 for a few days until everyone is used to seeing each other without being able to harass one another.

Planning on a tang or 2 in the future or maybe a blue jaw trigger and a tang. Not sure just want 2 "showpiece" fish to add someday.
 
Would say you would definitely be okay if you add one. If you add two a lot will depend on how they behave towards eachother. My leopard lives together with an orangeback fairy wrasse and a melanurus. Have never seen any abnormal territorial behaviour except for when the leopard sees his own reflection in the glass. If you try make sure to have a deep sandbed and a nice population of copepods. The hunting keeps them busy :)
