My local fish store which is a mess and has nothing labled had two neat looking fish, but I have no clue what they are.

Could someone ID them .. and if you know what they are would you also know if they are reef safe and how big do they grow?

Sorry for the bad quality images.

Damsels pretty much all the same.
The red coris wrasse is reef safe but will eat inverts. I had one years ago and it wasn't aggresive.
If you want info on fish www.liveaquaria.com is pretty good

As most people do it isn't a red coris wrasse.
It's a Formosa Wrasse a common mistake.
Here's a good link

Yes I had this wrasse that grew up to more then 6ins, he often move any rock that can be moved looking for food. Interesting fish, I sold him to a LFS since he is getting too big and do not like him moving rocks all the time.
