I had a velvet outbreak in my main 220 and had to take it fallow. The fallow period is over and I moved the fish that had been in it before back and other fish that I had in QT that had been in a 40b that I wanted to move to the 220. In the 220 before I had a bonded pair of Lunare Wrasse, one adult male and one juvenal. I also have a terminal phase purple scale fairy wrasse from the 40b who is about the same size as my older Lunare. I was concerned that the lunare would bully the fairy, but it seems to be the other way around. Also have dusky halichoerus wrasse the lunare and fairy ignore.

Guess I am just a bit surprised by a fairy bullying a thalassoma. The lunare will chase the other in circles then when the lunare turns around they attack each others face.

No I don't. They worked out their **** in the first night. By day two they were ignoring each other.

In my last paragraph I mixed it up it was the fairy chasing the lunare not the other way around. But regardless it was worked out by morning. They have ignored each other sense.
