    Long story, but I initially had a 6-line wrasse in my 55g reef, I stupidly added a gorgeous Christmas Wrasse after falling in love at the LFS. They said it would be 50/50 if they would fight. Well I got the bad 50 as my 6-line tried to kill the Xmas, would not let up, so it has been hiding in the sand for almost 3 weeks. Well, I finally was able to get the 6-line out and luckily the Christmas emerged and was eating like a pig today. I'm psyched as it took sooooo long to get that 6-line out, and I haven't seen the Christmas for weeks, thought it was a goner.

    Here's a pic of Christmas, doesn't do it justice, it's a holiday everyday with the green & red:
