that eel is a a pain in my BEEP

[zdthompson]

my lfs came over last night to pic up a coral from me and he said the wrasse i had in my tank was not safe so he told me to put him in my agsv tank. 9 stock - niger triger,lion and yellow headed eel) looked at him this morn and the bugger had 2 big bite marks on him and he has lost alot of color ( hes kinda turning brown in some spots) i do not know what kind of wrasse he is i have looked all over the net and both lfs dont now what kind he is. what should i do? eel in time out?
serously though it this little guy ganna live and if so then what to do? i dont really want to get rid of him cause i think he may be rare and he is a great color (before) sigh help

could be the trigger they do like to nip

my trigger is a lazy bumb he never swimms around just lies and hides ( looks dead most of the time) i think it was the eel cause there are good size bit marks the skin has came off a little bit what do i do. i dont want to lose the little guy but dont want to crash my reef tank

If he doesn't work in either tank then get rid of him. why not?

my eel dont really mess with anyone. although she did eat a coral beauty i thought was too big. i got a large foxface and a juvie picasso trigger also. and a cleaner shrimp that loves the eel.

because it is a really rare wrasse im so up in the air on what to do i might sell him on here. i do not know what type it is. i say rare cause i cant find the speices any where on line. and i have looked for about 7 hours

Not sure I would blame the eel so fast in that tank..More of a gulp and swallow type of critter..

well it does not matter the eel ate the wrasse 2 nights ago

i was lookinh for it .. and looked at the eel and it had a huge bump in him. so yeah my wrasse is history.
