Carpenter Wrasse Aggressive

[Cscultho]

I added an adult carpenter wrasse to my DT last week and didn't realize how aggressive they can be. He/she takes no crap from the original bully in the tank...flame angel. The flame angel use to rule the roost but now the wrasse keeps everybody in check and is always knocking around the angel. Fortunately the angel stands up to the wrasse.

Other tank mates are (2) osc. black clowns, fire fish and pajama

A fellow reefer in my area had to get rid of a blue-sided fairy wrasse because his orange-back fairy wrasse, who was 2 inches smaller, was beating it up. Little innocent looking fairy wrasses can be mean too! :rolleyes: Stick a fiji blue-devil damselfish in there and it will make all your fish look like little angels ;)
