Aggressive Borbonius Anthias

[Phlynamjax]

I have two borbonius anthias and both are getting very aggressive toward wrasses. They will chase any wrasses moment they spot them. And they either corner them or make a wrasse jump into the overflow. Has anyone experienced this behavior? I had them for awhile and they are about 3.5 inches. They do not bother any other fish.. I hate to get rid of them, but I might have to.

thanks,

Just curious... How did you fare with your borbs? Did you keep them? We have 3 and they chase our wrasses every once and a while (it used to be worse), but they all pretty much get along now.

Anyone else have an aggressive borb? I just moved mine into the DT (75g, with only a few fish stocked), and he's been chasing my Terelabrus wrasse a bit, but he especially hates my tilefish for some reason. He also claimed the main cave and chased out my blue assessor. He ignores my clown and my small Halichoeres wrasse. My tilefish (same size) is terrified of him and has already tried to jump and hit the lid twice. I'm confused because everything I've read says these guys are peaceful and great tank mates.
