From what I have been reading I should be ok. But i'm on here for a reason right... opinions welcome,

My tank is a 54 gal corner. Mixed reef, Mostly LPS.
0 amonia 0 nitrite and 5-10 nitrates.

I do 10 gal water changes weekly

Currently houses

CUC
purple firefish
Red velevet wrasse
pair of small false percs
bangai cardinal

I'd like to add a McCocker flasher and/or chalk bass......

there is TONES of rock work and only the firefish and wrasse use, but they are very comfortable as they are out and not hiding, 99% of the time.

because the wrasses are differnt types, flasher/fairy, and differnt colors, and there is plenty of room to hid with lots of rockwork....
do you guys see an issue with this?
 
The RV wrasse can be pretty aggressive and they can get pretty big. I have one that's around 4.5". Luckily he's very laid back.
 
They can get up to 5" from what I have seen of them. 38Bill was referring to their aggression towards other similar wrasses.

Including flashers, I should think. In my experience, territorial wrasses will chase anything that's shaped like them - anthias, other wrasses, etc. A 54 corner tank isn't really spacious enough to keep them from getting bullied.
