I am far from a wrasse expert, but from all my reading of recent information, Flasher and Fairy wrasses will progress to terminal males in aquarium. Wrasse keepers recommended ONE wrasse per species. There are quite a few reefers have pair/harem of Fairy wrasses in their aquarium but these will not last. Once the female change, the live of the older male is in jeopardy.
I recently learn and see that there are three Flame wrasse in a LFS in San Antonio in a 8X4 display sale aquarium. I was told that the tree of them went in as all females about 1 year ago. Now all three are males with one terminal male and two sub males. Flame Fairy apparently are more docile according to my reading, and the tank is large enough such that they don't kill each other, but no female remain of the three.
