Melanarus Wrasse

So my wrasse comes out more often now but apparently he gets policed by my tang and golden head gobie. The gobie doesn't bite him but he opens his mouth and flares it on the wrasse....

I'm guessing it's a new addition? In my experience the wrasse won't be bullied for long lol

yes, i got him friday night, he disappeared, i thought he was gone but here on site they told me they hide and poof he emerged next day from the sand...
So no he's out and about pecking at my rock and the tang and gobie must think he's competition for feed... bothering him.
But he doesn't seem fazed at all by them....

Just a normal "I'm the boss around here". It'll stop in a couple days. Just make sure he doesn't get beat to a pulp

If he doesn't seem bothered, than don't let yourself be bothered by it either.

He seems good. not phased at all by them.
How good are they at looking for food?
He comes out and stays in 1 general are, i don't actually seem him catch anything although he is pecking at the rocks. At night i see the worms all over. I assume he doesn't eat while hes buried in the sand right?

Don't worry, they are very good at finding food, although not while buried.
