Royal Gramma Basslet....

I've heard from some that the Royal Gramma relativly peaceful, but then I have heard the opposite. Do you think I would have any problems mixing it with 2 ocellaris clowns, a 6-line wrasse and a Yellow (or kole) tang.

See, that is why I am confused....I had a guy at my LFS who I trust pretty well, and he told me that the gramma might go after my wrasse. Now I don't know if I should get him. Either way it sounds bad.

six lines can be rough on many fish, firefish, fairy wrasse (they really maul them), flashers, etc. Royal grammas are normally pretty placid fish, except with each other (unless you get a large group all at once).
Maybe your LFS guy was thinking about pseudochromis some of them look almost identical to a royal gramma and are very aggressive.

My six line wrasse seems pretty peaceful. He spends most of the day just exploring in and out of the rockwork, and sometimes comes out and hangs out with the clownfish. Do you think that the wrasse would bother the royal gramma?

Alex,
In my experience I think the six line would be a problem.
