I currently have 5 wrasse in my 110 gallon... 5x2x2 tank.

2 Ornate leopard wrasse
1 mystery wrasse
1 cleaner wrasse
1 richmond wrasse
1 African Esquisit Fairy wrasse

I have to rehome my coral beauty (wife's favorite fish) because it's eating LPS.

She wants another purple fish and the beau Fairy wrasse was brought up. How would it do with my other wrasses and especially the Esquisit wrasse?

Any other purple fish? She wants one that is active and swimming around.

I’ve kept 2 kinds of Fairies before without a problem, though I can’t tell if yours will get along as it’s not always true for wrasses.

Maybe try an Orchid Dottyback instead?
They are beautiful, can live in pairs, not aggressive at all, and once acclimated they come out and swim so they are visible.
I’m sure your wife will approve once she sees them :)
