On a relatively new 55 gallon tank I decided to add what was an expensive 8 line wrasse. The tank had two clowns and one flameback angel that have been there for a few weeks.

The flameback is now attacking the wrasse every time he leaves his hiding spot; first it started with these weird tail whips and a day later I caught a few instances of nipping.

If it matters, the wrasse is roughly the same size if not larger then the angel.

Am I doomed or will this reside? At all costs I?d like to avoid removing the rocks to catch him, as the aquascape is elaborate and I cannot currently catch the angel.

How many days has it been? Most semi aggressive fish will be aggressive towards new tank mates when first introduced. Usually goes better when adding a few fish at a time vs one at a time.
