Odd Wrasse behavior circling

[|sCRIBe|]

I have a melanurus wrasse that will go to a corner and swim in circles for hours if not the entire day. Up and down circling the frag rack or power head and I have no idea why?

Tank is reefer 625xxl with 5 other small fish and everyone gets along just fine.

Please fix typo in subject line

Probably chasing the rival challenger (his reflection) trying to invade his space.

Good point never thought of this, thanks

I have a female blue star leopard wrasse that does the same thing around a frag rack for hours on end. The other fish just stay out of her way, presumably because they think she's bonkers . But she's beautiful, healthy and eats like crazy, so I chalk it up as a personality thing .

Yup, probably a reflection issue. Mine is weird though as it only does stuff like that when I get near the tank. Definitely a ham for the camera. Not that I mind though.
