Aggression in QT tank

[djryan2000]

I purchased a pair of wrasses from my LFS a couple days ago - a McCosker's Flasher and a yellow coris. They're both in my 10 gallon quarantine tank so I can raise the salinity from 1.017 to 1.025. The flasher wrasse is much larger than the yellow coris. I believe the coris wrasse is being bullied. The first day I could see both swimming around and I saw the flasher wrasse dart at the yellow a couple times. Now, I only see the flasher swimming around. I did catch a peak of the yellow once but it seems he's staying very reclusive. He didn't even come out to eat.

Is there anything I can do to curb the aggression besides get them in a bigger tank ASAP?

You could put a divider into the tank. To separate the two.

You can use egg crate light diffuser from HD or Lowes

Egg crate works well. They do have stuff that you can put a fish in

I use to use an acrylic sheet. You can get some sucktion cups with a slit in them to put the acrylic through.

Find a sign making outfit, and ask them. They will have off cuts

Eggcrate may be too wide a gauge. If so, 2 layers should fix it.
