Ya they may getted harassed by the dottyback but it pobably wont last long. If you have a fine sand bed it's a good thing for the mentioned wrasses as they can hide out in the sandbed if chased. 6 lines just dont give in until whatever they hate dies, I have a dottyback that usually gives up the chase after a couple of days.

Thanks for the advice all. That Melanurus Wrasse looks amazing...I'm asuming that's gonne become a wrassehole too? Too bad...so pretty!
I'm worried the yellow coris wrasse will not get along with Mr. Bicolor Dottyback...he's a real jerk to all the newcomers into the tank(though he's left the Mandarin alone)

Melanurus Wrasse's are usually fairly peaceful.

Get a wrasse yellow coris or malenarius or Mandarin.

A spotted mandarin to be specific. They would clean them up in no time.

My sixline is big. I can't add new fish, but he bothers nothing in my tank.... Not even flatworms.
