Green Wrasse Question

I have some excess inhabitants that I am trying to figure out what to do with. I have a 220 gallon reef set up and a 46 gallon fuge. My reef is stocked and I am happy with it.....but I ended up with some extras. One is a large (about 4.5 inches) yellow headed sad sifting goby....he had to come out of the 220 because his sand sifting was coating my rocks and corals in sand constantly. I "dusted" the tank about twice a week but, alas, it was not enough so I pulled him out. Now I am afraid he is smothering all my refugium plants! I have pretty much decided he will have to go....but here is my bigger question - I have a Green Coris Wrasse - he is about 5 inches long....currently living in my refugium. I want to put him in my 220 reef set up but I am concerned that will be the end of my mated pair of coral banded shrimp and all my sally lightfoot crabs.....I keep hearing they eat inverts. I have a couple of hermits (little ones) in my fuge and he hasn't bothered them.....has anyone had any experience with this sort of wrasse? Will he eat my inverts? Also, I have a small yellow coris wrasse in my 220 already....will the two get along?

Hi,
I have a true "green Wrasse" (love that lime green color!) in my tank, as well as a "lunare wrasse".
Both have been in my 65 for over 6months and do not bother either my pepermint shrimp, King crabs, turbo snails, or Nass snails.
Hope this tidbit helps you.
