This is the wrasse thats harrassing my new blue heads. Going to trap him and get it out.

What species? sorry for the crappy pics, to many to make up for the quality.

yep thats definately it, Thanks JT.

Not a cheap fish either, little monster. I should note before I added the bluehead wrasses it never showed any aggression. Actually gets pushed around by my flame angel and clarkii clown.

Hes around 3 1/2-4". I will most likely be selling or trading him. Not sure, when that time comes I will post.

Will need to go to a tank with out any wrasses in the Thalassoma especially if they are males. Why I ran into this problem in the 1st place. Its got along great with both my Red Corris and Purple belly wrasse, but they are from a different family of wrasses.
