I had a VERY similar issue with a blue sided wrasse and a new solar wrasse. Blue-sided would not even let the solar out of the rockwork! I ended up catching the Blue and placing him in the sump for 3 days. Once the Solar had established himself and started eating I added the blue back in. NO PROBLEMS! Not even 1 episode of chasing on either part so it definately worth a try! Especially if you think you can catch the solar again later if need be. I've always found my wrasses to be VERY easy to catch in the bottle trap OVER and OVER again! (They don't seem to learn...or are intensly food motivated!)

I've heard that keeping the aggressor (or the aggressee, preferably the smaller one I guess) separate from the the fish getting beat on by containing it in an in tank acrylic container (so they can see each other) for a few weeks sometimes works well for fairy and flasher wrasses.
