Marble wrasse aggression

[Sean Duggan]

I have a 160 gallon tank and recently added a marble wrasse to my tank. He’s been in there for about 3 weeks and the past couple days he’s been harassing my pair of clown fish. He leaves every other fish alone but will charge my clowns occasionally. They stay in the top corner of my tank and he will swim up to them and flash his fins at them. Occasionally he will charge them and try to bite and they’ll just dodge. Should I try to get him out with a fish trap, or see if the aggression summers down. And is there anything I can try to help distract him, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Some people have been known to add a mirror to the side of the tank to see if that stops it but if it doesn't stop in a cple days I'd move it.

Thanks for the tip I actually did do that and it has seemed to help. The worst day was Wednesday he constantly harassed the clowns and the past two days have been better he will swim right next to them but doesn’t attack so I’m cautiously optimistic
