I have a 55 gallon reef tank with a Scopas Tang, Banggai Cardinal, Percula Clownfish, Green Chromis, Royal Gramma, various soft coral, Emerald crabs, and a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. I'm looking to add a few various peaceful wrasse to the mix. Any suggestions?
 
Iridis wrasse would be top of my list, beautiful and peaceful, you could add any from a multitude of leopard or fairy wrasses to this for a real nice display.
 
I really like many of the Thalassoma wrasses, but most will be cramped in a 55.
I don't care for fairys or flashers (HAH that sounded wrong) but they are a fine choice here.
 
Flashers and most of the fairies will work. Some of the fairies like Scott's have a rep for being aggressive, but most of the others are fine.

If you know which ones you want, there are a couple people that have a lot of experience keeping multiple wrasses on this forum and can give better advise on the specific species.
 
I've found any Halichoeres wrasses to be really great. Most stay fairly small and they're peaceful to most fish.
 
Any of the possum wrasses are about as compatable as you can get, even with other wrasses.
