    Ihave just placed a healthy new elegance coral in my 180 gal tank. It is being unmercifully attacked by one of my large yellow wrasses. I have 150 lbs of rock for the wrasse to dart to. How can I protect the coral if I can't catch the wrasse?

    Removing it seems like the only option.

    make a cage around the elegance eggcrate or pop bottle. i had to do this to prevent my 3" clowns from inhabiting a 4" elegance. eventually they found another focus and i was able to remove the eggcrate

    Thats what I did. I cut off the end of a liter water bottle; inverted the bottle and covered the coral.
