Adding a wrasse with aggressive tang. Hello! I just discovered your site and it has been a huge help to me! I apologize if you’ve already addressed this issue, I read through the FAQ on wrasse compatibility and didn’t see my 
exact situation. I have a 120-gallon marine setup with the following fish: 3 Green Chromis (1″ each) 1 Maroon Clown (1″) 1 Long-nosed Hawkfish (3″) 1 Flame Angel (2″) 1 Pearlscale butterflyfish (3″) 1 Purple Firefish (3″) 1 4-spot yellow Coris (2″) 1 Diamond Goby (2″) 1 Sailfin Tang (4″ with fins extended, 1″ body only) Up until two months ago I also had a beautiful exquisite fairy wrasse that I was particularly fond of. The wrasse passed away, we think it was because he was pestered unmercifully by the 8-line wrasse that my LFS assured me would be fine as long as we bought them together. I’d like to get another fairy wrasse but I’m now concerned that the tang won’t allow it. He was pretty obnoxious when I brought the butterflyfish in although the tang had only been in the tank a few days himself.
The fresh new wrasse might be a separate facts just like the he could be a beneficial far some other profile
