Wrasse compatibility

My local fish store just got a Hoevens wrasse in. I currently have a pintail, dusky, yellow corris, royal flasher, and pink margined. Will the Hoevens go well in this tank? That would be three halichoeres.

Presumably they mean a melanurus, correct? And you have these wrasses (and what else?) in an IM SR-80? I would find that risky, especially since a full grown dusky could dominate an 80gal AIO tank. And a pink margin is no slouch, either, for a fairy. I would instead wait for a nice leopard or pencil wrasse if you're looking for another sand sleeper, or a second flasher like a linespot or blue.

Yeah, Melanarus. And yes all in an SR80, with hopes to upgrade in 1-2 years to a larger tank. Dusky is about full grown, and he's actually my most tame/mellow fish lol additional stock list is: two storm clownfish, a midas blenny, a royal gramma, a yellow line cleaner goby and sharknose goby. Oh, and a coral beauty.
