Those with multiple Fairy Wrasses

[CeeGee]

I am having a little issue here. I have had a solar wrasse in my tank for about a year now (great fish, calm and well mannered). I added a pair of flame wrasses (male and female) last weekend.

The solar wrasse is such a peaceful laid back fish. The male flame on the other hand is the spawn of the devil. He chases everything in the tank and especially hates the solar wrasse. He chases the female flame quite a bit as well (which I expected) but I honestly didn't think that keeping the two male wrasses would be an issue. I have to keep a constant eye on the fish to keep him from attacking the solar. I have kept multiple fairies before and never had this issue.

The only fish in the tank the flame can't push around is my male lyretail anthias. He can be quite nasty as well and doesn't back down from the flame at all.

Can anyone give me any tips as how to calm the situation. I really don't want to remove either fish if I can keep from it. I know several people on here have a crazy amount of fairies in their tanks and wondering if there are any tricks to calm down the crazy ones?

Thanks,
C.G.

the thing i have had to do before is pull out the one causing troubles and re introduce it like a week later..other than that you can try using a speciman cup and that might help.. how long have you had the flames??

A week today. I thought for sure if there was to be any aggression it would be from the firmly established wrasse. Not the case.

Can you point me to one of these specimen containers?
