How‘s he behaving? I see the femininus checking him out.
He's good, I have a piece of plexiglass separating them so he can acclimate appropriately. The Earls wrasse is the most aggressive out of the two wrasse so that's the one I am most worried about when I introduce him.

Just seen this, if this is how big your current specimen is then unfortunately he’s max size already and likely won’t have long to live as even female wrasses are shortly lived. They don’t generally get much over 7 years from females, males we get are generally young so we say 4-5 years but with a large male you’re expecting maybe 2 years out of it generally.

Here is an update, I acclimated and zero aggression displayed. They all accepted him with open fins, LOL

Beautiful wrasse .. but…Who’s shredding the tangs fins?
I am not sure. I can't figure it out! I think its the file fish but have no evidence just a hunch.

My bets go towards the angels, those guys are known for nipping.
