Acclimation box would help with new additions as well for the future

Six line is probably the worst of the worst of all wrasse temperaments by a huge margin. My wrasse are saints and I have dozens

Depends on the fish though. My 6-line is a model citizen because he had the crap kicked out of him by a gold stripe maroon.

I added my Menalarus wrasse and my golden head goby harrassed him for 2 days... wrasse paid no mind at all and it stopped.. everyone minds their own business now. I posted pics a while back you can see the goby opening his mouth big trying to intimidate the wrasse... and the yellow tang used to police the wrasse too making sure he wasnt a competitor for food...
like i said after a few days they were done and left him alone.

Yeah but don't add any new fish, especially not gobies blennies or wrasse. Even 2-4 times his size.

Line?
Its a melanarus, he didn't care at all... the tang and the gobie literally policed his every move for like 2-3 days. After that no one bothers him, he holds his own the in tank and does what he wants


The gobie... has ticked me off since he's entered the tank.. covers all my corals on the floor... but at same time he keeps my sand super clean !!!

I strongly agree with this, acclimation box helps in more way's then one. Not only when there's fighting going on but also when you want to introduce new smaller fish or any fish for that matter. Fish see them in the box first and when set free they know there not food. Only because they've seem them for some time already. I have one of these box and it was one great investment made by me for this hobby.
