I've decided to go with a Wrasse Flasher (Carpenteri or McCosker) and a Yellow Coris

Those really aren't appropriate for a tank the size of yours.....especially the yellow wrasse. They can get up to 6" long. Stick to a Pink Streak or Possum wrasse if you must have a wrasse.

Possum wrasse are absolutely gorgeous, so hard to get here.

@saltyhog Can Possum Wrasse eat flatworms, or the Pseudocheilinops ataenia will be better for this?

Pseudocheilinops is better for it however Wetmorella can help with the smaller specimens.

They are hidden around the rocks and through the glass… also I’m trying to get a mushroom attached to a rock, so It’s easier to look

If I add both at the same time, they can live in peace together? Or there is no need for both?

They should, however IME these are both peaceful species we’re talking about and should cohabitate either way.

Thanks for the reply. It’s hard to find them here in Brazil. Will keep my eye open!

If I can’t find them at the same time, I should have no problem if I add one before the other?

It shouldn’t be an issue however it’s always best to keep trying to find both at the same time. Wetmorella can be a slightly more boisterous species so if it comes to it, get the Pseudocheilinops first over the Wetmorella.
