Thanks the checkerboard was from another member and he's been great. My lunare is about 6" too, and is aggressive towards other similar size/shape fish. I had him with a small red corris wrasse (before the velvet) and he was ok with him but that wrasse was only an 1 1/2" to 2" big. During QT when the lunare was with the checkerboard wrasse (checkerboard is now in the reef tank and the lunare is in the fowlr) he constantly attacked the checkerboard
The grouper I have used to sort of pick on the lunare but they seem fine together now and the other fish in that tank are different types (trigger, angel, puffer, foxface) and they get along fine. I would like a tuskfish but I'd worry that my lunare and grouper would pick on one too much.
I'd love more wrasses but my lunare would pick on any that were big enough for the grouper not to eat! and my reef tank already has a fair amount of fish and a devil damsel that likes to chase wrasses
