I'm very interested in getting a red coris wrasse from my LFS. There are 2 adults 3" available and they both appear to be very healthy since I first saw them a week ago. They seem very personable. (I want only one).

Is it recommended for a reef tank? I am getting mixed feedback that it will eat the inverts I have. LFS says no problem of course, so then I say I'll think about it leave and start researching WWM and this site for the past week and have mixed feelings. I have the following fish, inverts and many corals which I won't list since they are not the issue.

Fish:

1 red spot blenny,
1 zebra barred dartfish
1 black percula
1 false percula
1 yellow tang (4")
1 hippo tang (3.5")

Inverts:

1 blue maxima crocea clam (5")
1 green maxima crocea (4")
1 gold giga derasa (small 2")
2 cleaner shrimp (large 3+")
1 sexy anemone shrimp (hitchhiked on my RTBA)
1 RBTA 6"

So I am most concerned about my inverts. Would appreciate any experiences with the red coris and your inverts. This would be my last fish, otherwise probably nothing since I'm at my max bio-load. I really like this fish, so colorful and great personality, but there are 3 dozen corals very happy. Please tell me if I have that "JUST ONE MORE FISH SYNDROME", or is it worth the risk?
