If you look at most compatibility charts, 6 lines are compatible with all except another wrasse. Don't believe them. True, the 6 line will definitely fight another wrasse, but it can pick fights with any other fish at any other time. This is the one fish I wish I never got. There are a lot of prettier wrasses out there. Don't get the 6 line.
6 lines do eat pods, in addition to eating other sand and rock critters like brittle stars and worms. My 6 line does, however, get along fine with my invertebrates.

Unless you are really in love with the six line, then it might be best to look at alternative wrasses (reef safe if you plan on having corals).
With that said, if you get a six line, then it is usually best to introduce them last to the tank.
I had six line and he was picking on all of its tank mates.

I will never have another 6 line again. I love their personality and beautiful color, but they have always ended up extremely aggressive IME(had 3 always started at <1"). I have lost a pair of mature clowns, African Flameback Angel, and my last one was pestering my bristletooth tang to the point of not eating. Had to go, and of course is one of the most difficult fish to catch...
