Has Anyone Ever Done This Before?

Okay, got a bully. I now have three anthias in my tank. The first added was a stocky pink anthias, largest in the tank. The second was a lyretail, and for a few days I thought I might have to remove the pink due to bullying. However, it ended and things are par. I just added a Fathead Sunburst. Its the smallest of the three and doesn't seem to be adapting quite as fast as the lyretail. So I thought I'd try and separate the fish for now while the Fathead gained its strength and confidence. Has anyone ever done this before?

I did something similar with mesh netting to remove a damsel. Tried to remove two but the second ended up straigtening up his act after the first was removed.

Yep, it's the perfect way to allow fish to get used to each other while keeping them in the tank. Just be careful once it's removed.

I was very clear on my instructions.I cannot believe they did not listen. They were supposed to stay on their side while the Great Wall of Aquaria was in place. I got up this morning and many fish had exchanged sides, including the Sunburst. The Sunburst had crossed over to the bully's side. So I guess, in theory, I may have been on to something. But I need a little bigger fish to pull it off. I know the Lyretail figured out it could squeeze through the openings. I guess throughout the night it passed the word.
