Wrasse Compatibility

I've got 2 reef tanks. One is a 75 mixed reef, including clams and anemone. Fish consist of a 6 Lined Wrasse, 4 Green Chromis, a GSM Clown, a Purple Pseudochromis, a Starry Blenny and a Yellow Watchman Goby.

The other tank is a 46 mixed reef with LPS, softies, a HUGE RTBA, fish consist of a mated pair of Black Occellaris, a Mandrain Dragonet and a small Spotted Rabbit Fish. The Rabbit Fish will be going into a 113 as soon as it's set up and cycled.

Now to my question. I received a male Carpenter Flasher Wrasse from a friend the other day. It's currently in the refugium under my 75, while I decide where to put it. I'm concerned about it wiping out the pod population in the 46, which would be detrimental to the Mandarin. I'm even more concerened that, in the 75, it'd get beat up by either the 6 Lined Wrasse or the Purple Pseudochromis. Currently the 6 Lined Wrasse and Purple Pseudochromis have been together for several months without any aggression. There's about 130# of live rock in there with plenty of hiding places and separate territories.

If I were to put it in the 46, it wouldn't have to be there for more than a couple months, while waiting for the 113 to be ready. In that time, I could purchase and add pods of necessary.

Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks in advance!!

Sincerely,
Michael
 
i would do the 46 so it doesnt get beat up i mean putting it in with the others might cause the purple and the 6line to be aggressive even when the other wrasse is gone, i would just do pods every two weeks till hes gone
