Best luck would be adding them all at the same time.
Be aware that coris wrasses will go after snails, hermits, clams and other inverts (like its their job)

Few beers and I'll frag anything...
Yeah this group would be going in at the same time, but will want more wrasse down the line so hoping these guys will get along well with others. Also yeah I know the corris is a gamble, so pretty though ha.
The coris wrasse will also move rocks and corals not solidly secured. They also get really big. I've thought of it myself but I think there are better wrasse choice in my size(same as yours) tank.
They are gorgeous as adults though.

Gosh, in a tank the size of yours there are tons of choices. How much of your money can we spend?
In the moderately expensive range, I like C. rhomboidalis, C. jodani, C. laboutei (which you already have on your list) C. lineatus and C. isoscoles. C. aurantidorsalis is nice and not expensive at all. If you want to spend a bit more....C. earlei.
Flashers? I like the two you have plus P. flavianalis and rubricaudalis. I also like P. lineopunctatus, though lots of people don't. P. angulatus is also nice. If you open the wallet, P. attenuatus is one of my favorites. I'm not willing to spend a bunch on flashers because they just don't seem to live as long as other wrasses but I will gladly pay for one of those.
Don't forget about leopards (I have a Potter's and love him). There also a bunch of Halichoeres wrasse that would go ok with the above.
Look around and see what you like, 'cause ultimately what you like is all that matters. Check for compatibility or post here, we are blessed with a couple of the most knowledgeable guys around when in comes to wrasses.

Good luck on C. rubrimarginatus female, quality marine has sent me four of them, all of them ended up C. plyei.
Nice list, but ruby head and blue head might be a conflict and rhomboid/ pink margin might be an issue.
Good luck,

Pink margin and rhomboid could conflict.

That list is what I need, I’ll probably avoid one of those two than. Thank you! Been quite the process to get it going, been meaning to make a build thread; “Jakes 180 gallon stress tank”...

Make sure you put some sort of cover or netting over your tank. I had a Timor Wrasse jump last week. Really bummed out about it. I knew it was a risk and didn’t heed the warnings.
