Got this about a bit over a week ago, not sure what kind of wrasse this is. He is a busy thing hard to get a photo of him so I took a short video. The wife named him Dizzy, which I think is perfect being that he does what you see in the video pretty much all day long. (sorry for the crappy quality its a junk camera)

tail is red or yellow ? by looks id say red tail tamrin wrasse female . and she looks to be spazzing out . hopefully she dont do harm to her self
 
it is black tailed, and I think it likes going by the return and feeling the water pressure, not sure could be chasing its reflection in the acrylic, who knows. I know when I put him in there the kole tang was chasing him pretty bad but that calmed down now and the tang only goes after him if he goes in the tangs sleeping area.

Hopefully he settles down he should be swimming around the rocks hunting kinda like leopard wrasses . They to pace up and down tge glass when stressed . Also these guys kinda hard to keep mainly cause they have small mouths and ususally get out eaten cause takes em longer to eat . Beautiful fish though
 
he seems to be eating okay, I only have 5 fish in the tank, but ya he is a pacer...he is calmer now, I took that photo right after feeding. Any thoughts on what I can do to reduce stress?
