Hi All,

I have a carpenter flasher wrasse who has decided to be the bully of my tank. I’ve got a 50 gallon with live rock that has a bunch of caves and hiding spots. My other fish are very chill (firefish, orange spot goby, chalk basslet, and a pajama cardinal). The wrasse was one of my last fish adds and he’s the biggest fish of the bunch. He’s been spicy since day one and really terrorizes my fire fish. I’ve just put him in an acclimation box with a PVC tube today but he seems stressed in there and I don’t want to cause him issues. Any thoughts on stress for him and other possible options to get him to chill out? I know sometimes they just don’t and I may have to get a smaller one but figured I’d ask here first. Thanks!
