I probably would not in a tank that size with an already established melanurus, but that's just my opinion. I'd go with one of the smaller fairy wrasses, and maybe a possum wrasse.
That's what I figure as well. Technically he's not established yet because he's in a different tank and may or may not be moving anytime soon. He was in before the Leucoxanthus and leaves him alone but when they move tanks I know hierarchical changes can and will likely occur at which point he will either establish himself or stay calm.
Just be aware that as the clowns and damsels age/grow they can become very aggressive.
My melanurus is perfectly peaceful very occasionallyFor the record I was totally being the guy that knows the right answer but is looking for permission to justify making a stupid decision. Where are all my enablers????
Why get a chrysus when you can get a hortulanus!?!?For the record I was totally being the guy that knows the right answer but is looking for permission to justify making a stupid decision. Where are all my enablers????
Bird wrasses are all the rage these days!For the record I was totally being the guy that knows the right answer but is looking for permission to justify making a stupid decision. Where are all my enablers????
Why get a yellow coris wrasse when you can get a Twin Spot Coris Wasse!!??!?For the record I was totally being the guy that knows the right answer but is looking for permission to justify making a stupid decision. Where are all my enablers????
They are so cute when they're small though!
Because so far the only wrasses I've had access to locally have been Garnoti, Lunare, Leucoxanthus, Melanurus, and Chrysus. I've seen a couple of Bird Wrasse and one other that I don't remember...
Well I believe he was joking because a hortulanus is hort in the anus. Almost as bad as a lunare
Right, but isn't that true of almost all Wrasse?Well I believe he was joking because a hortulanus is hort in the anus. Almost as bad as a lunare
Edit: that joke did not work at all. Ah well
.
Edit 2: how about:
Hortulanus is a Latin phrase that translates to “pain in the butt”
Thank you guys! Will check it out/availability.

I feel @i cant think knows much better then me. It’s definitely not melanurus. That’s my most aggressive and has a bad reputation. I’d go with one of the torpedos like a radiant/iridis, chrysus, or leucoxanthus.
I’m convinced some ignorant fish store saw a red coris wrasse and decided wrasse are wrasse so let’s call this yellow one a yellow coris.
