Good medium sized Wrasse(7") for a predator?

I want to add a Wrasse, but nothing too big for my tank. My Porcupine Puffer and (eventually) Sargassum Trigger are the big boys in the tank, with a Coral Beauty and Flame Angel rounding out the little guys. Looking for something big/mean enough that won't take crap from the Angels, but not so big as to crowd the tank.

Would you consider a Lunure wrasse too big? Not sure how big your tank is. I have one and I know he holds his own with fish much larger than him. In fact, he's usually the instigator in any disputes. Lunares are very active and have very beautiful colors. They do get pretty big though.

Coris wrasse <-- looks even better than lunares!

Christmas wrasse. I had a 6" one that held its own and didnt cause any problems. When threatened they will just bury them selves.

IIRC Lunares get up to 10" and Coris up to a foot or more so I think those will both be too big.

What about an Australian Scott's Fairy Wrasse? I have one that's probably about 5 inches but I don't think they get much bigger than 6 inches. They're not too wimpy yet not too aggressive either. Beautiful too.

I have a Paddlefin Wrasse. It is very active & a great eater.
The pink, yellow & blue colors definitely get your attention.

Mine was in with a clown, stingray, lion & grouper with no problems.

It maxed in length at just under 8".
