Would a Xmas wrasse and a Melanarus Wrasse coexist peacfully in a 93 gallon?

I have an Xmas wrasse and would like to get a Melanarus Wrasse. Any agression issues?

What Christmas Wrasse exactly? Sometimes the Melanurus is called a Xmas wrasse!

I'm guessing Halichoeres claudia, I've never seen a melanurus called an xmas wrasse; maybe if it was mislabeled.

That is true, I've seen Melanurus, Claudia, and Biocellatus labelled as Xmas wrasses. Too bad, this is why I dislike common names!
