Wrasses

[mmw64]

I need more action in my 72 gallon tank. The only wrasse I have now is a Yellow Coris. Are there any other wrasses that would not get along with this one?

Any flasher and fairy wrasse should get along.

One of my all time favorite is the leopard wrasse. Very docile depending on which species.

I see on drreef three different leopard wrasses, which one is more docile?

Not Coris wrasse! This is becoming my biggest pet peeve...

This is Halichoeres chrysus. A small, reef safe, and very peaceful wrasse known for being beautiful, eating pests, and as a good community member. Credit @JoJosReef This is Halichoeres chloropterus. A larger and more aggressive wrasse but still fairly reef safe and good for bigger tanks and...

Now to actually answer your question you are looking for:

• Halichoeres wrasse like your yellow. I suggest a radiant, Halichoeres iridis
• Leopard: they are very peaceful and pretty but also advanced and hard to get comfortable. All species are about the same except choati which is even harder
• Flashers: I suggest 2-3 different species
• Fairies: same as flashers see chart below
• 
• Pink streak wrasse: easy but shy
• Possum wrasse: same as above but less shy

In my experience all leopards besides ornates and moyeris are docile. Also in my opinion leopards are not very difficult to keep as long as you get one that’s eating. Besides that there’s not much to them. I got 5 and they all eat like hogs anything I put in the tank.
