I’m building a 130g reef and want to keep a few types of wrasse. Any recommendations on which wrasses will get along together without much aggression? I’m really leaning towards mystery wrasse as a definite addition. Maybe some type of fairy and/or melanarus. Scape will be 3 islands so a few hiding spaces and room to swim around. Any thoughts appreciated.

Current fish going in when I breakdown other tank:
Bristletooth tang
Chromis x 4
Spotted hawkfish
Lawnmower blenny
 
When I had a wrasse dominant 120, I mostly kept fairy and flasher wrasses with a melanarus wrasse thrown in. They played well together and I didn't have any issues. I thought about the mystery wrasse, but was scared off because of how they play with others, but I would leave that up to the true wrasse experts on the forum (e.g. @evolved). I actually used @evolved 's write ups with planning. I started with this document (if you haven't seen it already):
