So my blue green chromis decided to go berserk tonight. No idea what provoked it, but it decided it HATED my diamond tail flasher wrasse so it tried to kill him. I caught the chromis in the act and attempted to catch him, but wasn’t successful (yet) so I turned the lights off and now I’m just waiting for Mr. Chromis to go to sleep. Oh don‘t you worry Mr. Chromis, I am coming for you and like Liam Neeson said “I Will Look For You, I Will Find You, And I Will Kill You” - ok so not that last part but you will be in my sump before morning!

Here’s my wrasse now laying on a rock, full of bite marks and breathing heavy :(. Fingers crossed my poor guy makes it through the night.

This IS the reason I dont have chromis or damsels. EVIL is a powerful term.
Try at night, fish trap or place brine shrimp in a net and dont let fish see you. When he goes in after it - SCOOP

Ugh! I know! I went against my better judgment. I saved this little jerk from dying of uronema. He was alone in my biocube for 8 months. I felt sorry for him so I transferred him into my 90 gal 4 months ago and this is how he repays me??!

He's lucky he's in the sump.
Mine would have been placed in a different tank:

How is your wrasse doing?

Along with your sump monster?
He still has his battle wounds but he’s back to flashing again.

I haven’t seen the sump monster today. He could be hiding in the live rock in there... or may have been eaten by sump crab.

Ok so I remember reading this post as I had a yellowtail damsel in QT. He's only been in main tank a week or two and tonight I found my Flasher Wrasse beat up and halfdead in a barnacle . The only a**hat I have in my tank is the damsel and I've been watching his aggression get worse towards everyone as the days pass. I tried to catch the jerk but no success tonight. I need him OUT!!

How's your flasher wrasse doing? Were you able to remove the damsel?
