Well, I've been thinking a lot about what exactly I'm going put in my 86g (48"L x 16"W x 26"T). I've been thinking about getting a harem of the smaller (3") wrasses of either the Cirrhalibrus or Paracheilinus genera.

First off, would these fish be compatible with a pair of maroon clowns and a BTA? My tank is tall, and the top of the live rock barely extends past the bottom half of the tank, giving plenty of open room for the wrasse.

Second, how large are harems in the wild generally? I'm trying to form a biotope, so I'm avoiding all fish that only school/group in very large numbers. How many wrasse could I keep in my tank?
