Heck even my anthias who used to rule the tank is scared of him now haha....I know I run the issue that turd face was in the tank first so he is likely going to go after anyone new.

So what are some ideas?

Ummm find a new home for dick head/jerk/turd face

Come catch him for me He is very cautious, I would get every other fish in a trap ages before he would ever go near it. And if I stick a net in the tank, hes in the sand for hours.

I do quite like him, and his colours. And I'm sure if he's not there, somebody else will become the new dick head jerk turd face.

Do they make Valium for fish?

How about a Macropharyngodon meleagris wrasse?
If your tank is established enough.

Pods don't exist in my tank. Haven't in awhile since I added the Melanurus. Now nothing stands a chance at surviving with the Formosa. I think I need to be able to rely on a fish eating frozen or pellet.
Leopard wrasse are pretty cool, but I have a feeling once it turns adult as well and goes male, it will look too much like dick head.

And dick head seems to be behaving himself so far this morning. But that's not to say he wont go psycho later.

I am leaning towards an Indigo Dottyback and that Coris wrasse. Perhaps still getting some anthias.... Cant decide.

There is no way in hell I am draining this tank after what it took to get the rock work in and fill it! I would rather deal with a fish killer then ever have to do that LOL
The only way he was caught in the previous tank was removing ALL the rock and water and getting Warren to come help LOL
So he is staying in the tank.

Warren knows people! Coral whisperer and fish whisperers! I agree it's the poo poo head that should go. i know someone else having same issues with same fish. You won't be able to add any new fish with confidence unless he's out.

It's a lie. I don't know anyone.
