Opinions please :

I'm thinking of tearing down my 90 and moving the CowFish into the 125 reef.

Worried that the 2 wrasse in there may be to aggressive for the Cubicus (lost my Longhorn due to Purple Lobster)

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Lunar and Mellanarus. But there all aggressive in that species. That's why I didn't bother naming them off.

That's a risk with mixing wrasses. Especially when they are similar in appearance like the green coris and melanurus. How big is your cubicus?

How has your lunar done with other non-wrasses? Safest bet is always to add a fish at night after lights off.

Dude, before you tear down put your cow fish in there. See how it interacts with the others.

I had mine in with a melonarus with no I'll effect. But when I had a cleaner wrass, well it would keep pestering the CF so that it would always stay near the surface.

The cow fish is very unlike most other fish, you can coax him into your hand with a bit of food. Easy to catch. I'd experiment I I were you.
