is it ok to put a Red Coris Wrasse in with a yellow tang, hippo tang, and a coral beauty?
Figure I better ask first?

The Wrasse is a beautiful fish! But it will go through a cleaning crew like no other!!
Mine has never bothered my Sailfin or my other fish. He is very cool to watch.
He is very intrested in anything new in the tank. Rocks, pumps, etc.
I have read that they will "bother" other fish. But that depends the fish.

They sure are pretty!
Saw them on sale here thought he would make a cool addition to my 210
any type of crab or anything he might be able to live with?

A 210 would be great.
I had one that grew to 10" and he was a hateful SOB...he'd bite, spit water and bully other fish just beacause he could. Then, the next day, he'd be the sweetest little fish.
mihifisi...a clean up crew is gonna be tough to keep. Mine killed and ate 5 Red Starry Hermits, that were bigger than golf balls...one was almost baseball size. I called him the Hermit Assassin.
A deep sand bed is required to house them, as they'll sleep in the sand and they'll also hide there when they feel threatened.
Mine was known to pick up pieces of live rock that were almost as big as him and carry them around the tank...so, make sure your aquascaping is in order.
