they probably would be compatable with each other but not a good idea to put them in a mixed reef tank----and they like to carpet surf when the opportunity is there for them

why wouldnt it be a good idea to put them into a mixed reef? They are all reef safe. Its for a 90g. I was thinking of making it a wrasse tank.

I also have a glass top with small holes to allow air to get in.

when they are mature they could go after your small inverts and nip at coral polyps.

Here's a list of the fishes and their adult size in inches:

5.5 Leopard wrasse (3.9 - 6.2, depending on species)
5.1 Clown fairy wrasse
4.5 Radiant wrasse
3.9 Choati wrasse
2.6 McCosker's Flasher
5.1 Divided Leopard Wrasse

The seagrass wrasse (Novaculichthys taeniourus) is not reef-safe, or fish-safe. A number of the other wrasses on that list are poor candidates for aquariums because of feeding issues or delicacy.
