Mixing Wrasses for SPS

[Shadow Tempter]

I'm planning on adding some sps safe wrasses for FW and redbug control. Anyone has any experience in mixing these together?

Melanarus Wrasse
6-Line
Leopard Wrasse
Spotted Mandarin

I'm also thinking of adding:
3x flasher wrasses
2x Rainford Goby

and clown gobies? maybe a bad idea for my acros?

I wouldn't risk putting a clown gobie in with SPS (acros). I had one in and did some serious damage as it would rub against the polyps and prevent them from coming out.

I've got a spotted mandarin with two different female leopard wrasses. One from the cook islands, one from africa (blue star)

The Leopard wrasse would be good,but they are often difficult to get started eating.I'm not a 6 line fan,too aggessive.
This fish is very hardy,colorful,and would fit you needs,but these wrasses need deep sand(3 or more inches).They dive into the sand to hide and sleep.

Clown gobies, rainsford gobies, leopard wrasses, and spotted mandarins are all extrmely difficult to get to take prepared foods. I wouldn't reccomend any of them unless you have a large 180 + well established tank.

I should also learn to spell.

I know those are all equally hard fish to keep even the Yellow Coris Wrasse. I've heard they don't usually last long either.

Has anyone have any experience with the Melanurus Wrasse + a 6-Line Wrasse together?(maybe if I place them both at the same time)

Or any other fish that will keep FW and other undesirables in check?

6-line will probably kill or stress out Flasher/ Fairy wrasses.
