Wanting to add another Wrasse

I have a 125 sps dominant tank with a six line wrasse and I would like to add another wrasse or two. I really wanted a flasher, but after reading up some I see that's a bad idea. Any suggestions for a colorful wrasse I could add that could tolerate the six line and not be aggressive towards other fish or inverts.
I have hermits, snails, and a pistol shrimp. My fish consist of a pair of percs, yellow tang, starry blenny, six line, and I'm planning on adding a pair of Anthias and a mandrian. Thanks.
 
If you don't get a wrasse, then you could get more Anthias :) They live in a really big packs in the wild, and there should be at least 5 females per one male. They look SO much better when there are more of them...
 
I agree Rapide. I'm picking up one Lyretail Anthias and one Bicolor Anthias from a local reefer that is getting out of the hobby. Would i be I making a mistake by mixing the bicolor and lyre tail.
 
I've seen all sorts of Anthias' mixed... I have 6 squamipinnis' and am planning to get a few of some other species, maybe pleurotaenia...
 
Sounds good. Will they be ok by their selfs. I really don't want to add the bio load by adding 5 or 6 more of each.
 
Or get a fish trap and get rid of the 6 line.

I really dont like six lines at all. They are extremely aggressive to the point where they will kill new additions not just harrass. They normally dont tolerate any other wrasses but Ive seen them go after other species of fish like basslets and even anthias.
