My new Bully......HELP!

[ginger7286]

I recently put my newest member in my main tank. It is a green Coris Wrasse. He is beautiful, he has been in the main tank for 3 days. He ignore all the other fish and they are co habitating very well. The problem is the newbie chases my Sea Grass Wrasse around the tank if he is near him and I swear sometimes he looks for him. I love my Sea Grass and I hate to see him being harassed. Will these two fish ever get along or should I bring the Coris back to my LFS and make another selection. He has not bitten him, just harasses him and I am afraid this will not end. HELP!!!

I dont know what species your speaking of with the "sea grass wrasse", but it is a difficult question to answer. Many times, the aggression fades. But sometimes it does not. Either way, I am guessing you will eventually see some torn fins and missing scales. If this is unnacceptable to you, return the coris. If you do this, I wouldnt suggest any other wrasses either.

I have 4 other Wrasses and have had no problems with them being together. I wil lkeep an eye on the Green Coris. Thanks,

My Green Coris is probably the most relaxed fish in my tank, bothers no one. Now my 6-line is another story. He keeps chasing my African Secretive wrasse.

Mine turn out to be THE bully in my tank. A single green wrasse eliminate-

3 Radiant wrasse,
3 African flameback angels,
2 Yellow coris ( it outgrew 1 and became the resident bully, the 2nd ones didn't make it past the 3rd day),
and a few more I might have forgotten.

I really want to own a mystery wrasse but this fella is stopping me.
