    I just wanted to update. The flasher wrasse is doing much better now. He's still a little skidish, but is coming out more and more and the other fish are leaving him along much more then before. Here's a pic.

    Well, I'm sad to say that my flasher wrasse died. I just was looking for him at feeding time and saw a hermit eating him. He must have died last night some time. He didn't jump though. He was eating well and wasn't being picked on any more. His tail had a slit in it, but I think that was from the initial aggression. The good news was that I didn't pay cash for him, I traded for coral frags I had. I think I will stay away from flasher wrases as I have not had good luck with them.

    love your McCoskers! he looks just like my Flash, i love him, but he gets the crap beat out of him by my chromis and is constantly covered in ick from stress because of it. When he's "allowed" to swim throughout the tank he's so beautiful and active
