How many wrasses is socially acceptable?

Asking for a friend ;)
I’ve got 2 in a 90. I figure I could add at least 3-4 more depending on the scape and available sand. If you have mid strata wrasses that don’t bury maybe a couple more if you want a wrassy tank

Inconceivable!
My wife's favorite movie. Or at least it used to be. :thinking-face: It might be a toss up between Princess Bride and Nacho Libre now.

Princess bride for sure! I think the only one that beats it in this house is Serenity for her and Scott Pilgrim for me.

Well, is it really wrasses if you don’t have Atleast 5-6?
These guys seem to agree ;)

Dusky Wrasse. I need one next? Do they eat ginormous stars as well or just the small ones?

Pretty sure mine ate any size, not confirmed it was him but seems most likely. He also ate all my feather dusters though :loudly-crying-face: Can't wait to get the tanks split back up so I can start adding them again when he's separated.
Harlequin Shrimp maybe? Or will the wrasses use it for lunch?
Absolutely would be lunch for a dusky, at least once it's big enough. Others maybe not.

Both me and @i cant think have a ton of wrasse and have also had huge issues with coral eating asterinas. One of my wrasse was a dusky too. Definitely did not eat the asterinas.

If you want a wrasse that eats them then I think you need a thalassoma wrasse but unfortunately they are very aggressive. My little 2.5” one has killed two urchins as big as it is.
