Good Evening, and any help appreciated. Probably not much to be done.
I have a 120g reef tank with an Orange Back Fairy Wrasse, a Tomini Tang, a Perc. Clown, and a Diamond Goby. Everybody doing fine. Tonight, I picked up a Mystery Wrasse for quite some money from LFS. I've been watching this fish for at least two months, but couldn't justify the $$$. Today I splurged.
Bring home, drip acclimate for an hour, match pH and salinity, drop fish in tank. The Orange Back IMMEDIATELY starts brutalizing this poor mystery wrasse. Fish aggression like I've never seen before.
Aiight so I grab some food and the net but there's no way I can get either of these fish out of the tank. I don't have enough space, buckets, water etc. to take the tank apart. So my questions are:
a. Anyone have a similar experience? Is there hope?
b. I read up plenty on both wrasses, everything said both were peaceful.
c. Is the orange back agression only towards wrasses or what else should I avoid?
Thanks in advance.
