My second tank that I just set up I am doing reef safe wrasses. Currently I have a MCcoskers male and two females, Possum,Pink streaked and Lubbock. I am wanting to add one more what would be the best one that would get along with what I have?

Plenty of options. What peaks your interest? I would consider Cirrhilabrus, Paracheilinus, Halichoeres (smaller members) and Macropharyngodon, to name a few.
+1 on all those. Where did you find the female McCosker's? I been looking for females forever and finally gave up and went another route. I may renovate my FO tank though, and look again.

Can you be more specific on which ones you would suggest?

I have been trying for a small harem of Leopard wrasse for a year now. To date, I have zero in my tank.
There are about 150 combined species in the genera I mentioned. I don't like to recommend any one fish, but rather have you see what you would like and go from there.

I'll throw a specific out there for you Mike 'Radiant Wrasse' Halichoeres iridis, one near the top of my list for sure. I mistakenly re-homed mine when thinking on going strictly Hawaiian species only and have spent over a year looking for a replacement. I only want to introduce a juvenile, which I stringently hold to for all livestock being added to my system.
Not the best picture but and awesome Wrasse and superb Pyramidal Snail Hunter
