Coris can be awesome/beautiful but beware they will not allow you to stock ornamental shrimp, tube worms, snails, crabs, etc...all will be seen as food LOL

This is a hit or miss phenomenon. Many people have no issues keeping adult Halichoeres wrasses with ornamental shrimp, tube worms, snails, crabs, etc.

Tin that is a red coris wrasse. They are not reef safe as they eat a lot of inverts.
They also will out grow your tank.

They probably will out grow your tank, but not as fast as that red coris

Should be ok but mixing wrasses are hit or miss. Just depends on the individual fish. Use an acclamation box to be safe. Once the aggression stops put the second one in the tank.

Exactly what I was thinking of doing ..
I'll be getting the blue star this weekend and once it settles In then I'll think about adding the other wrasse or may be skip all together
