Leopard Wrasse Bullying Mandarin

[Kiiyo]

I noticed my mandarin would only come out at night for about the past 2 weeks and couldn't figure out why. Today I saw my leopard wrasse chase him back into the rock work when he finally had come out today.

The mandarin isn't skinny, but I don't think I can just leave him to deal with this alone. Am I going to have to rehome someone or do I have another option?

It's a 50G lagoon 30Wx24L, I had the wrasse for almost 2 months before this started happening. I also feed a lot daily.

My Blue Star Leopard wrasse does the same thing. She needs to go.

Good luck!

I'd remove one or the other. mandarins cannot fend for themselves.

Ahhh, that's unfortunate. I guess I'll have to set up the trap.

Right, they seem like the last one to get bullied since they don't even acknowledge other fish. ******* wrasse I guess
