New fish being bullied to death.

[Jordan berry]

I got a couple lyre tail anthias and a mccoskers wrasse a couple days ago. The wrasse and the bigger of the 2 anthrax take turns harassing the little lyre tail. He ate the first night in the tank and everything got along until the next morning. Now he is losing color and isn't coming out of hiding and hasn't eaten since the night before last. He is starting to lose color and is lathargic. My question is should I set up my qt and try and nurse him back to health? Any ideas or expierence with this that could help me save the little guy would be great.

If ever in doubt I'd setup and remove, especially seeing what you are seeing.

Have pics of these? Can help in identifying sex.

I would quarantine if possible

I will get pics when I get home. I have the wife starting making my water. He isn't colorless so I think I can save him and he comes out for food he just spits it out and won't actually eat it. My sister shrimp being the only food he kept down the first night and trying mysis, blood worms and hilarious pellets. Do you think if he was use to eating my sister with garlic I should buy some garlic and see if he'll eat that?

Mysis*

Too late. Haven't even made it home and she's laying in the sand bed... the Mccoskers flashing was the same size and color... she was the sweet one of the group... I should have known it would be an issue

That's the thing in this hobby, you never know what you're going to get. Sorry to hear.

I would closely monitor your other fish for a few days as you didn't quarantine and lost the fish in a short time.
It might be nothing but just in case.

The pic from that video looks just like what the second anthrax has.... what is on the yellow fish in that pic

There's a little line on the right side of the anthia its not even a 1/4 inch long past the gill that looks like that pic.
