Yellow Wrasse reef safe?

[incloud]

Anyone know if the yellow coris wrasse will get along with a six line wrasse. I saw one today and after reading up on them, would love to add one to my reef. My six line is very mellow and has only shown short aggression toward a cleaner wrasse I had. It slowly starved I think because it just disappeared. Thanks for any input. Really like this fish.

Sixline's are just plain evil IMO. It will most likely kill the yellow wrasse.

This is a relative question, as in a 300g I would have no problem mixing a wrasse or two, but in, say a 75g you're asking for trouble in my opinion.....one will probably jump.

the one with a white belly is a different species. I have heard it called a merinque wrasse

I have a yellow coris 3 1/2"-4 1/2", 8 lined wrasse 2" and a hogan wrasse 2" in a 110 gal and have no problems with aggression

It also depends on the size of your tank. If it is less than 20g it will start hurting your corals like zoanthoids. It goes after the food at the base of polyps aggressively all day long and soon nothing your corals will tear apart.
