Can anyone shed a light? I had to move the tank ( 45 gallon ). One fish a clown, and lots of soft coral. Lots of other critters that I did not put in, snails , these small starfish white things?, and long white worms. I only moved the tank 2 feet because I had to do the floor. Emptied a little over half the tank, moved it as quickly as possible, and refilled with existing water. Probably disturbed the sand substrate a bit but nothing noticeable. Th coral looked terrible for three days. All shrunk up. Did a water change still not very god. Also discovered a power head which was leaking 62 volts from the water to ground in the wall ( voltmeter. I unplugged it, and noticeable improvement to the coral. Here is the big change. My only fish a clown became super aggressive. Attacking with no regard to its own safety. Twice launched itself right out of the tank when I was trying to feed it. At one point hit me so hard it broke the skin. It used to be docile and shy. Now 2 weeks later still the same. Any ideas?
 
Clown is likely a female who can be aggressive and territorial
Did you acclimate coral to new tank as if you just bought them?
 
Unfortunately once this
This is an established tank over 10 years. Fish is as old as the tank. the coral about 9
habit of BBC aggression is displayed, it rarely goes away
