Does anyone have one of these?

I have one in QT right now but LA lists them as Semi Aggressive and I'm a little worried about my red velvet wrasse(which is already in my DT).

I had one. Removed it due to aggression issues against my anthias and lubbocks fairy wrasse.

At what point did you add the wrasse? At it stands now, the velvet wrasse would be the last fish.

It was also after the others.

I have a similar morph/species. It's blue with a purple belly. It's mean to other fairy and flasher wrasses. It doesn't seem to bother my leopards or my Anampses, mostly it just wants to be #1 when it comes to food. Sooner or later when I expand my collection I'll be removing it. It's really nice looking, just a bully.

Not some favorable responses. . His fins are really cool, it reminds me of the lineatus's fins

I'd rather add a single female solorensis ... similar coloration; less attitude.

How did you manage to remove him from your DT?

I removed my big male longfin by placing my acclimation box in the DT, removed one of the panels, (it has removable panels on either side) and then put breakfast in the box. The second he went in, I uprighted the box and took him out. I find that my Cirrhilabrus love playing the in the acclimation box, so I just used it to my advantage.

Thanks for the insight
