Picasso Trigger Vs. Harlequin Tusk Wrasse

[DCskins]

I just recieved a beautiful Harlequin Tusk Wrasse delivered today. After acclimating the fish and putting it in the tank it hid for a few hours. As soon as it started to come out the Picasso Trigger won't leave it alone. Does anyone know if they will chill out, or should I get rid of the trigger. He leaves all my other fish alone (volitan lion, maroon clown, snowflake moray, koran angel, and a purple dottyback).

How big is the trigger and how long have you had it? R. aculeatus can become very belligerent with smaller fish.

The trigger is small 2inches or so, and the wrasse is 3 1/2 or so. I just put a trap in the tank, the fish are getting used to it before I catch the guy. It's a shame, I really like the trigger.

I ne wthis about the trigger before I purchased him. I didn't think it would be this aggressive while this small.
