Only the very rare Leopard wrasse does well in a tank with aggressive tank mates. You will have to squirt food in its direction and hope it gets enough to eat. Far better off to catch it out and into a calm tank.

My pair of red leopards live in my clownfish tank with a few clowns, fairy/flasher wrasses, Bangaii, and gobies.

I just got a Black leopard from Island Pets that was net caught in Vanuatu and had survived in the shop for 6 months. It lives in the main tank and is fast enough/aggressive feeder enough to compete with the Naso and other fish.

I do squirt food in her direction, and it's obvious there's not enough in the tank to sustain her as she's so skinny. I will try to catch her, I've only got 2 chromis and an angel in the other tank.

Doesn't matter how many times you feed the fish is a tank mates that is matter. I only feed once a day.

try feeding blood worms , or brine shrimp . Anything meaty and different . I would strongly recomend treating for inestinal worms they are quite prone to them i use pirazipro its reef safe .My leopard ate everything and would compeat with 2 other wrasses and a bunch of other agressive fish it just takes time and food they like . And i only fed once every 2 days once he was eating well but for now try and feed more.
