Red Coris Wrasse with Yellow Tail Tamarin

[kmbyrnes]

I am just finishing up QT on 2" Yellow Tail Tamarin Wrasse ( Anampses meleagrides). My original plan was to add it to my 100 g Reef to replace the one I lost last summer. At that time the tank also had a 3'' Red Coris Wrasse ( Coris Gaimard ). Now the Red is almost 6" and I am concerned about possible aggression between the 2 fish.
I am also cycling a 125 FOWLR.
Will the 2 fish be OK together despite the size difference?
Or should I just hold the Tamarin until the 125 is cycled?

There may or may not be aggression, IME read Cori's wrasses are not that aggressive. Nevertheless, I recommend using a social acclimation box for introduction of the new wrasse to the existing one.

I got a 3" yellow tail tamarin and a 4" red coris in a
135GA and there's zero aggression between the 2. I will post pic tomorrow.

A social acclimation box is a great idea. Good Luck.

Where did you purchase the yellow tail tamarin? I haven't seen them in the trade lately.

I got if from my LFS in Mesa AZ. They got in a shipment from a different vendor.
It was the only one I have seen since I got my first one in February of 2014. I usually don't impulse buy, but could pass this opportunity up.
Looking back on my notes. I see there were some spats between the the Coris and the first Tamarin that lasted about a week, so I hope things will go as well this time.

NY Aquatic regularly has them available.
