Was sold this as a ruby longfin fairy wrasse and I think it’s a carpenter or mccoskers flasher. Not a huge deal but I just noticed this dorsal fin looks like it’s been nipped and I’m not sure if I have a bully in the tank as what I’ve been watching for last hour today the wrasse bucked up to the Royal Gramma who’s the OG of the tank (still about 1/2-2/3 the size of the wrasse but still.

Current tank mates are 2 black snowflake clowns, Royal Gramma, Convict Tang, the Wrasse, and 1 purple fire fish (the other died over night after about 1-2 weeks found in clown territory so I’m assuming their what happened to it). I do like to over feed w a few pinches of pellets then 1/2 a cube of frozen a few hr before lights out, I stopped cause I had a big phosphate spike but that has come down a good chunk so I’ve started to feed heavier again (got an assorted mix of frozen just mixing it up as I use em)
Another issue I may have is my convict might have some issue w something stuck in its mouth as it is constantly just chewing and been like that for 2 weeks but I’ve seen it eating and not spitting stuff back out, it ate like 5 pellets in 3 seconds yesterday.

The wrasse and convict eat together from the clip or the massticks bites (the convict wouldn’t touch nori for first 2 weeks but is eating it up now). Ive seen the convict get a little fixated a few times and have put my hand in or the scraper to distract or get it to stop.
First tank and only been running since July/august. Idk if this is kinda normal stuff or if I’ll have to eventually take everything out to catch the aggressor. Also doing this on phone app idk why the paragraphs closer to pics are smaller different text hope it all posts seamlessly.
Tank is a RedSea350 g1. I know the issues with RedSea no need to mention em if not replying about the fishes.
