As the title suggest. The tank is a 75 gallon reef. Atm I have two clownfish a yellow tang pistol shrimp goby two skunk cleaners and a McCusker Flasher wrasse. I am looking for a small reef safe wrasse. That I can use to keep the bug population in check. I don't have a bug problem atm but since I don't have a quarantine set up I like to have something around the same size as my McCusker that would co exist with my current live stock.
 
I thought that you could not put two flashers in the same tank? I was kind of looking for something that would keep pest in check. I don't have any atm but you never know. Not sure if I am spelling this correctly but something like a corrie wrasse, canary wrasse? Anyone have experience with this fish or something like it, on the small side and reef safe.
 
Yellow coris wrasse or melanarus wrasse. Both are good at pest control, and should get along with your flasher wrasse. However, if you have small snails/inverts, it's possible that these wrasses may go after them.
 
not possible they *WILL go after snails such as nassarius and dwarf ceriths. They are great wrasses though and snails are cheap
 
Yesterday bluezoo had a female H. richmondi wrasse female available...another gorgeous, peaceful wrasse that would work for you. :) (wish I had a tank suitable as I would love one of these!)
 
I have a McCoskers and a blue flasher together in 50 gallon and they basically just stay out of each others way. They don't chase each other around
