Flame wrasse aggression

Hi all, I have a 75g reef tank with the current inhabitants,
2x ocellaris
1x blue star leopard wrasse
1x exquisite fairy

I'm looking to add another fairy wrasse, and was thinking either a flame fairy or a hooded fairy wrasse. I read on a couple places that flames can be "semi-aggressive". Do you think it would be a problem with my current wrasses? Same question for the hooded fairy wrasse (although sites seem to list them as "peaceful").

Thanks.
 
Female flames are very aggressive. Male flames are moderately aggressive. C. bathyphilus is peaceful.
 
My flame wrasses are both very peaceful (one male, one female) towards all of my other fish (mostly wrasses).

I added a bathyphilus trio (one male, 2 females) to the same 125. They are not aggressive to the other fish, nor do they get picked on.
