What is this guy? Reef safe?

Hard to tell from the pic, but looks to be a Halichoeres trimaculatus. It is coral safe, but gets big for a Halichoeres, inverts may likely end up on the menu.

He should be fine, the mckoskers may take issue. Use a social acclimation box and that should lessen much of the aggression.

Thanks again

I found very little info on them. I'm curious is this what they look like when they are adults or males or will mine keep the white body/face?

That pic is of a terminal phase male. The facce of yours will eventually color up as it matures.

Behaviorally it will be very similar to H. hortulanus and H. scapularis.

Cool. .. Do they start off as females and change or...? I bought two they were together in a tank with other wrasses. I put them together and one started hitting the other I separated them while in qt because the space was pretty small. Do you think aggression may settle down in my 225 display or will I have issues? Also they are about 4 ish more or less inches each, I have a roughly 6" red coris, do you think they will get along?

Yes, they start as females and transition to male.

2 of the same species will likely not work long term as males will not tolerate one another.

The coris shouldn't care too much, but using a social acclimation box for introduction should help.
