Jawfish stressed because of Wrasse.
Hello. My blue spot jawfish has been doing fine.My brittle star took over his last burrow. I purchased a Japanese Temmincki Wrasse a few hours ago...The wrasse took over his burrow and now the jawfish is sitting outside of it.. Im scared its getting stressed out. Any experience with this?

As with any new fish you could re arrange your decorations (live Rock) to confuse everyone in the tank and give a fresh start to everyone. Besides that, you could add a small PVC for the fish to hide in until it can find a better hiding spot

I don't have a lot of experiences with wrasses, but they can be very territorial. (mean) You almost have to think twice before you add one to a tank. GL.
