I have an established mixed reef, IM 40. Current fish are; Flameback Angel, and Nako's wrasse, female Mandarin (captive breed) I have a male coming from Algae Barn next week. Court jester goby.

I believe my Nako is a bully and has killed a couple other wrasse's that I had, So now I would like to consider couple other fish that should get along with current fish?

I thought about removing Nako's, just not sure how with current aquascape? I do like the Nakos color

Was thinking a Mystery wrasse?

Thanks for Suggestions
 
That Naoko wrasse is gonna be way to territorial for you to add any other fish that is a similar shape. I think your options are re-home the Naoko or live with him as the boss. Temporarily removing him and letting another wrasse get settled then adding him back is a gamble?

As far as removing him, there are a couple of diy fish traps using small plastic bottles. I have also read recently about feeding the fish with a plastic container, then over time you can get him to eventually swim into the container. I've been trying with reef chromis but its not working yet.
