Pairing FLASHERS

I want a pair or trio of flasher wrasses (I'm thinking McCoskers). I have been unable to find a male and female of the same species b/c everyone pretty much just sells males. Can I pair a male McCoskers with a couple females of a different species? I am not interested in breeding, I just want the FLASH effect...

I have three yellow-fin flashers. I purchased them as juvies. Two of them actually flash all of the time at each other as well as the third.

Males will flash at each other. I couldn't even tell you where to purchase a female.

Generally speaking, flashers are pretty peaceful. I don't see any fighting at all, just flashing and a bit of chasing.

Occasional Live Aquaria has them in Divers Den; but this is hit and miss.
