Flasher Wrasse Crazy Swimming

[Huskymaniac]

So this fish has been in the tank for a month. First few weeks was super mellow and would hide for the most part. Now it is out an about and totally bonkers. It is constantly swimming in circles hanging around my leathers and pacing up and down the side glass. Not sure if it is going after its reflection or not but I did put a black background there and it made the situation 999% worse. Will this ever let down? Its quite stressful watching this constantly. I attached a video which shows what I am talking about.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong. Flasher and Fairy wrasses are busy wrasses.

I think you became accustomed to his acclimation period where he was “quiet”. I think what you are seeing now is true Wrasse behavior. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Looks like a happy flasher wrasse to me.
