Leopard wrasse aggression?

[Breakthecycle2]

About 5 weeks ago, I bought 2 ornate leopard wrasse females. Were in QT fine. I added to my tank yesterday and now I just noticed they are lip locking each other and displaying aggression. I have not had this problem with other leopards in the past. Should I be concerned?

If it doesn't settle down in a day or two, then one will have to be removed.

Lip-locking is two closely matched rivals fighting for dominance. Once there is a winner, the loser will back down and avoid conflict, choosing flight rather than fight. Just make sure the victor doesn't force the loser into constant hiding.
