Hi guys, here we go...
Simple Question:
Are these wrasses compatible together in a 125 gallon mixed reef: 6 line, 12 line, Yellow Coris or Green Coris?
Context:
I have a green coris already in my 220 gallon, wonderful fish. However, my split system (70 and a 90) seem to be infected by montipora eating nudibranchs. This is very bad, because they are my sale and grow tanks (respectively). Now, I only see one nudi a week, that is still too much. Up until now, they have stayed in the 70 gallon (clearly came in on a frag), but last night I found one in the 90 gallon.
Since I can't realistically catch the coris I have in the 220, I want to get a couple more wrasses to put in the two tanks.
Plot Twist:
I need to rip these tanks down and merge them in a few months (as detailed here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/moving-a-large-system-twice-in-one-year.545482/). Thus ensuring long term compatibility is important.
However, one of the three wrasses can go into a frag tank (50 gallon Low Boy), so worse case only two would need to be compatible.
This also means they only need to be compatible for 9-10 months, so, for example, if a couple small 6 lines will suit my needs for my immediate problem and not get crazy aggressive until they mature, that might be the way to go.
Conclusion:
I look forward to your thoughts!
