marjorie wrasse

[me_reef_geek]

I want to add my marjorie wrasse to my 120 but I am worried the pink anthias already in there will pick on him anyone know if an anthias will get a long with a small wrasse

another question I have is I have a small about the size of a quarter hippo tang should I let it grow up a little before adding it to my 120 or should it be fine

tank stock list:
blizzard and picasso clown pair
helfrichi firefish pair
starry blenny
pink anthias
blue mandarin

What species of anthias are "pink anthias"?

 

[me_reef_geek]

I think it is Pseudanthias hypselosoma

My Marjorie wrasse is very aggressive in my tank with other wrasses, recently moved him to another larger sytem of mine so we'll see if he continues this behavior amongst other types of fish. He wasn't agressive before he turned male on me. I would be cautious

currently the wrasse is in with my baby hippo they have been in qt for about 2 months im not worried about it being aggressive
its the anthias that killed 3 others when it turned male that I am worried about attacking the wrasse

I guess I am just going to have to try and if they dont get along I have no problem removing the anthias (except of course catching him)

You could put him in a clear acrylic breeder and see how everyone gets along, this way if the Anthias go after him they can't hurt him and its easy for you to remove him. They are cheap and can be had at any pet store. This is how Me, BradleyJ and lot of other wrasse guys socialize new additions. I know Bradley has a good shot of what he uses in the wrasse thread.
