Anthias and wrasse compatibility??

[Drewbaby]

Are anthias and wrasse compatible fish? I would like to keep a school of anthias, mainly the peaceful types, but also wouldn't mind a wrasse or two. Tank is 125 reef.

Should be fine in a 125. What kind of wrasses are you considering?

I have 9 wrasses with a borbonius and 5 evansi with no problems

I have seven different species of anthias and four species of wrasses and the wrases are all large in the 3-5" range with no problems.

I removed a luteovittatus and a punctatus for being too nippy with my anthias.

C. punctatus can be a real pistol!!

I was looking at some of the fairy wrasses maybe flasher wrasses, but I'm not sure exactly. I just want to add a variety of color to this tank that my 180 didn't have.

Since most of the anthias I'm thinking of adding are orange, red, or a mix of similar colors I was thinking blues, yellows, pinks, etc any recommendations for wrasses?
