Ive had both of these fish for over a year in a 130 gallon and they don't bother each other at all. I also had the red head first.

Thanks for your response! I was not aware that the melanarus would outgrow my tank. Definitely can't upgrade in time. So checking other options!

No that is all right now.

I really like your fish selection:

Clownfish pair: cute must
Red Head Solon Wrasse: Showpiece (is he the showpiece?)
Flame Hawkfish: character fish
Lyretail Anthias: dither shoal fish
soon to be Halichoeres Wrasse: Pest control

Honestly I'm more of a coral guy! That's why I am asking about fish compatibility. I usually go with my wife to a LFS and she helps me pick the "cutest ones" lol. But yea I def picked the solon wrasse. It is a very nice looking fish. To be honest I really loved my rhomboid wrasse. Just don't want to possibly lose another one....

Yea I have had great luck with my Evo .. and no luck with my 60 gallon lol. One tank on auto pilot. The other just a b!+"$ lol. Always some algae problem or cyano or something... Can't have it all I guess

Just an update, I added a yellow Coris wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) and lubbocks wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki). Added with lights out... Praying for peace when lights come on... Will update in a few days.

Yellow Coris wrasse fits right in... Nobody notices that he is even there... But the lubbocks is currently in an acclimation box as my solerensis wrasse was trying to nip... I will give him a week or two and if it doesn't get better will have to rethink the lubbocks. Does anyone have any other tips to help with aggression?
