In most cases just a day or two, if after 3 days there is still aggression or displys, then it probably won't get much better.

If you're interested only in Cirrhilabrus: http://www.reefedition.com/cirrhilabrus-complexes-inferiority-need-not-apply/
Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem.

Usually 2-3 days is enough, but not always.

@evolved, I just got a c. roseafascia (see previous page for picture) and it's getting punked by my velvet multicolor wrasse. Same thing happened when I first got my Earl's; the velvet would be the only fish to chase it around. Are these known for their aggression? I noticed he can always be a punk to new wrasses.

Are you using an acclimation box? (you should be, if not)
Seems like that species goes one way or the other on aggression. I once kept one and it was a mild puppy dog, but I've heard stories of them being pretty intolerant, even with anthias.

I put the c. roseafascia in an acclimation box for a day and a half. Nobody seemed to pay him any mind or had shown interest in him, so I released him. But later that afternoon the velvet started chasing it. Even my lineatus (my largest wrasse) doesn't show any interest in it. The roseafascia is slightly bigger than the velvet.

This guy is eating like a pig so I'm very happy with that.
Keep me posted on how yours make out.
I probably wouldn't have had him if it wasn't for you
So thank you

C.f. cyanopleura initial phase. Great wrasse. Mine has gotten along with a pink margin, carpenter's flasher, and c.f. pylei (traded in and gone now).
