So I have a 75 gallon reef with the following fish:

75 pounds live rock
Yellow tang
Blue tang
Pygmy angel
Madarin

I want to add fish.... but am worried about aggression from existing tank mates:
Blue head fairy wrasse
flasher wrasse
melanaris wrasse

If I add all 3 at the same time will it help to reduce aggression b/c the aggression will be spread among the tria? I currently have the flasher wrasse ready.. but I don't think adding a solo fish to my existing tank will work?

I plan to upgrade to a 6 foot... next year.

All is good except the blue tang and a mandarin. The blur gets to big for a 75 and mandarin needs a established tank with lots of pods. If you do have pods pop him right in. The yellow and angel can be added solo because wrasse arnt to agressive unless they are huge compared to the tang and angel.
 
The melanurus will compete qith the mandarin for pods.

The body shapes are pretty different, so aggression shouldn't be too bad.

Using an acclimation box for the new arrivals will minimize any major problems.
