That's a asterina star. I'd get them out as they can reach plague proportions unless you plan on keeping a harlequin shrimp, then that are ideal.

I'd suggest catching it in the middle of the night when the wrasse is fast asleep. These wrasses typically sleep under rock shelves, under corals, on the sand surface or in a crevice. Generally they do not bury themselves in the sand at night like other wrasses do. I'd watch to see where it sleeps at night. You can either watch to see where it goes when the lights go out. Or get a red light and look for it in the middle of the night (with all while lights off both on the tank and in the room). Catching a sleeping fish is much easier then during the day. Even catching a newly awoken groggy fish is easier then one which is a wake and moving fast.
If it is in a crevase, set up a QT tank, have it running and ready. At night take the rock with fish out and place into the QT. The next day when the fish has left the rock crevase, take the rock and place back in the DT. It will be much easier catching a fish in an empty QT using a couple of nets.

Any luck catching your Wrasse yet? Did he take a liking to your corals, you've had him quite a while now haven't you?
We need some new shots of your tank, your pictures are amazing!
Thanks! I have not caught him yet, at this point i have given up and I don't want to stress out the rest of my fish. Oxylebius, I have not thought of that! Thats a good suggestion!! He is a heavy sleeper, I will give that a go as soon as I get a chance!
BTW, I just realized that Ive had my wrasse for two years. A random realization, I went back in my thread and saw when I first got him haha

GUYSSSS I will try to post pictures of my tank today, yesterday I did a quick video just to show you guys how my tank looks like now (pretty much all my same fish I have not added any besides a damsel). PLEASE ENJOY and give it a thumbs up (if you want haha!). If you guys have been following my thread you will notice that most of my fish have gotten bigger, especially my tomato fish!
