Yes I'm jealous.
I don't know if 2 will mix well. But, if you're like me and are willing to attempt, rehome if needed... yes.
They're both females and supposedly you can keep a male with a small harem of females... The real question is is my wife willing to risk it?

I'm also looking at a Forcipiger... Probably gonna skip it.

I've read about keeping multiple females for 1 male. Someone told me, and someone has experience with all their females turning male. But, different wrasse species. Or was it the same species as h. leucoxanthus?

It’s just a run of the mill green Poci… started off as just a nub…about 2” tall now

Edit… the orange filter changed its color in the pic
Thats ... i cant say nothing safe about that piece. Anyhow, that's a very happy feller!

Same. Both are H. leuco.

I was tempted on a white spotted toby, but.. im sure it would have eaten all my stuff
The Valentini has not touched a coral…at least not to my knowledge… he hunts in the rock work all day…and eats like he won’t ever get another morsel when I feed the tank.

I believe you. I wouldn't mind a chunk here or there from sps for terth health. My lps, a different story. If i can get my flatworms under control... I can rework my fish list. I do love the toby puffers.

Mine too! Lived through the move with the clown in a cheaper clear Rubbermaid with a hob filter.

Tuxedo blue has been with me for awhile... 2019 crew!
