I currently have a 150gal 48x36x20 with about 120lbs of live rock housing a Midas Blenny, 8 longspine cardinal fish, 2 percula clownfish and one Blue dot Jawfish.

I'm interested in the possibility of introducing both a Mystery wrasse and a Green Wrasse. I have not kept either of them before.

In the future I would also like to introduce a few tangs (yellow & PBT) as well, maybe try my hand at a CBB but that is further down the line.

Can anyone chime in?

You have to be careful about feeding, the wrasse and the tangs may outcompete the BSJ for food which is not a good thing. Our mystery wrasse left our BSJ alone (we just seperated them in an upgrade) but ours was also very non agressive which is not the norm. I would be very cautious, if you have a healthy BSJ that is eating you are extremely lucky.

Yeah, my BSJ is eating like a pig, probably the biggest eater in the tank so far, it is still wandering the tank and digging new hideouts though, has not yet made a permanent residence.

I've heard mixed stories regarding the mystery wrasse. Some people call it a terror while others describe it as docile. Is it the norm for the mystery wrasse to be an aggressive fish?

Most threads on here that discuss mystery wrasses people say they are a terror of a fish, but every fish is different. We have had ours for 14 months and it has doubled in size but has shown no aggression, we are lucky though
