Wrasse Compatibility

Hello!

Hopefully some of you remember me. It's been a long time since I've been to rc and a long time since I've been able to really take care of my tank the way I would like to. I've moved on to a new part of my life and my tank has suffered a bit. Fortunately, the extent of the damage is a few corals and a huge majano problem. However, my question lies with something I used to know fairly well: reef fishes. I have an established Halichoeres melanurus and would like to add a fairy wrasse, probably a C. lineatus or C. naokoae. My instincts tell me the H. melanurus will rip my new addition to shreds, considering he is larger, more aggressive, and well-established and I know that the vast majority of fairy wrasses will go into hiding for a short while after addition.

Am I correct in thinking this?



Thanks,
sw
 
i dont think you will have a problem at all unless you have one that is a holy terror . i have a couple of them and they are in with leopard wrasses and tamrins ,both of which are very docile and also smaller . i have had no issues myself but would suggest a bit of aqua scaping before the addition of newbies as always .

+1. The couple melanurus I've kept, don't pay any attention to wrasses outside their genus.
