Wrasse Aggression

[Huskymaniac]

I added an orange spotted rabbit and perc clown to my 180 yesterday. Now my orange back fairy wrasse is beating down on my line spot flasher to the point wwre it wont let it out of the rock work. They really never got a long too great but did coexist with the occasional battle wound but this is at a whole new level. Does this ever settle down and is there anything for g else I can try like mirrors, etc?

I would try and maybe rearrange your rocks if anything if that helps I don’t know that’s the only thing I could think of

Aggressivity might stop in few days or else ull need to remove one. Acclimation box helps usually

Thanks, just odd that it started after adding fish. Hoping it's just them setting up a new pecking order. I will never be able to catch either of them so if it doesnt work out than it wont end to well.

Time and patience

I have a Square Anthias and then added a Sunburst Anthias. Both males (oops on my part)

Sunburst took a month to come out.

Both getting along with each other now. They both prob play reef-golf together when I'm not watching. They seem to just accept they're both males

My wrasses tend to fight when one of the more aggressive ones dies as well. Anything can disturb the pecking order.
