Halichoeres - Melanurus with Leucoxanthus?

Myka

Reefing since '93
I have a 3" female/juvenile Hoeven's Wrasse (H melanurus) in quarantine right now. I'm wondering if she would get along ok with a Yellow 4-Spot (H leucoxanthus) wrasse? Yellow 4-spot not to be confused with a Yellow Coris. I would like an active yellow fish in the tank. I could keep the Melanurus in quarantine until I find a Leuco and add them at the same time. The tank is a well established 90 gallon mixed reef (SPS dominated), and has a trio of McCosker's Fairy Wrasses, a Sharknose Goby, a Purple Firefish, and a Pearly Jawfish.

I'd say they will likely be fine. Most Halichores sp. seem to mind their own business ime
