I don't think I'll try anything else. A Lunare Wrasse is pretty agessive and fast and even it didn't stand a chance. In a short period of time, the wrasse had a chunk of fin missing and 3 large bite marks on its body. Fluffy is one agressive fish! Didn't even wait. The instant it saw the wrasse it went after it.

Also from what I understand the lines on the face may indicate the fish is a femal, the males lose the facial stripes. I believe this occurs as the fish reaches adult age.
This is probably what you are talking about...I have heard the same thing.

Ya a Lunare is about as close to an Undy as you can get for aggressives. You could try another Trig(maybe a larger Goldenheart or Clown), but the result will likely be the same.

He's a pretty active swimmer but likes to stick to the lower part of the tank. Very rare to see him swim at the top. Mostly swims through and around the rocks. But he's always swimming, never hides. Used to hide for the first few weeks but now is not afraid of anyone. Really cool fish to watch.
Prime, yeah I thouht of those but I think the outcome will be the same. Problem is that he's established now, has a sleeping cave, moved rocks around and the tank is not big enough for another fish. No matter where the other fish is, the undy will always think that's his terriroty.

btw, I decided not to return the lunare wrasse, instead I put it in my 150gal.

Yeah, I think the only chance is to to have a larger Trigger in first then add the Undy, once an Undy gets settled, its his tank.
