I'm tagging along to this one to find out as well. I have a yellow wrasse and would like maybe a leopard or some of the flasher wrasses to go with it in the 120.

Good to hear, I will get a leopard when the 120 is well established then.

i had 2 leopards in my 120 and they swam together all the time until one got spooked and jumped

I have a leopard wrasse, six line & yellow wrasse in my seahorse tank. No problems at all.

I assume the "banana wrasse" is a canary wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)?

this is a 230g right? Im betting it would be fine if they are all the same size. Of the three the aggressor is the lunare, then the red coris, and the Halichoeres chrysus is a peaceful pansy; I would introduce slowly and in the opposite order. The others might pick on the banana wrasse but I wouldn't really expect it. the red coris and lunare can probably withstand any aggresion from each other, but keep a close eye, especially on the lunare.

Yes, it's a 230g this is the "banana wrasse" I'm talking about: a Thalassoma lutescens

If you like wrasse and you like the colouring of the ones you like, there are many smaller wrasse that have similar colouring.

Take a look at www.wetwebmedia.com This site gives details on the wrasse you are looking at and also has recommendations. The site deals with fish, coral and inverts and IME their advise is great.

I want larger wrasses because they are going in with my angels.
