#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#recently, I aquired a coral beauty, one beautiful fish.. The acclimation went well and after release it didn't hide and ate..one hitch...my,yellow tang visciously attacked my coral beauty- of course my heart sank. I decided to#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#shut -off all lights and to let the fish chill for a 24 hours..The next day I turned on my lights and saw my coral #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#beauty swimming on it's side,upside down, etc.. of course the attack continued..my quarantine tank wasn't #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#ready to accept any fish..I returned my coral beauty to my lfs.his first reaction..what beat-up this poor fish..#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I wasn't invited to the flush ceremony..#ed_op#IMG style="WIDTH: 52px; HEIGHT: 27px" height=27 src="/richedit/smileys/10.gif" width=25#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# Well, my lfs rc'vd a lubbock's fairy wrasse and I decided to buy this fish ..currently my lfs has him in #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#quarantine and he is doing well..#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# I guess after this long story..my question is what chance does my wrasse have in a fish/reef tank..I have#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#approx. 50 lbs live rrock in a 45 gal tank with many hiding places..My other fish-6 line wrasse, blue damsel,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#diamond goby, 3 green chromis and 1 clown.

I think your fairy wrasse would fair better than the beauty did. I would turn the lights off and then introduce the fish. keep the lights off for about a day. But your damsel and 6 line can be pretty aggressive towards 'the new fish' I have a 6 line wrasse and he is the first one to go after any new fish I introduce into the tank. But I think he should do better than the coral beauty.
