can you keep macropharyngodon meleagris together with macropharyngodon choati in a 126 gallon tank???

I'd check out the Leopard Wrasse primer towards the bottom of this page--very useful thread

As long as they are not males they should be fine together.

A local San Diego reefer has a tank full of male leopards: potters, meleagris, Vermiculite, ornate. They all live peacefully. No choati, but just sharing what I've seen live.

Sure their are exceptions, especially in larger tanks, but I have seen males kill other males and transitioning males far more often than peacefully coexisting with them. Just basing it off of what I have seen in person...

Oh I don't doubt it. I **hope** my large ornate doesn't have an issue with my male vermiculite. They haven't seen each other yet 1) cuz they're new 2) they get up at different times.
