I assume the "banana wrasse" is a canary wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus)?

this is a 230g right? Im betting it would be fine if they are all the same size. Of the three the aggressor is the lunare, then the red coris, and the Halichoeres chrysus is a peaceful pansy; I would introduce slowly and in the opposite order. The others might pick on the banana wrasse but I wouldn't really expect it. the red coris and lunare can probably withstand any aggresion from each other, but keep a close eye, especially on the lunare.

Yes, it's a 230g this is the "banana wrasse" I'm talking about: a Thalassoma lutescens

If you like wrasse and you like the colouring of the ones you like, there are many smaller wrasse that have similar colouring.

Take a look at www.wetwebmedia.com This site gives details on the wrasse you are looking at and also has recommendations. The site deals with fish, coral and inverts and IME their advise is great.

I want larger wrasses because they are going in with my angels.
