If the tank is large enough, 6' or more, and they are added simultaneously, sure, but there will be aggression, so having a large enough tank so that lower ones in the hierarchy can get away is necessary.

One of the new additions for the 90 gallon. It's hard to see the electric blue outline on all the fins and impossible to see the maroon that's also in the dorsal and caudal fins. True to the name, eats like a pig.

Cirrhilabrus temminckii, peacock fairy wrasse, male.

So I guess 19.99 for this fish is a good deal

Or is it not really worth it. The color is drab but I'm sure it's somewhat stressed.
