Yellow eyed kole tang. It will chase the others, if they run, sometimes. Its more of a game. If they dont run ( pajammas will not run) then it will not chase. Its not a daily occurrence or feeding behavior.

Ive intentionally stayed away from Royal Gramma's as I know every now and then they suddenly think they're the biggest fish in the tank. I know they're a popular Nano fish and I've been a Nano enthusiast for a long time. But never, ever, and probably never will, have one haha.

God my molly killer blenny... took care of my aptasia but it’s stressing my baby flurry clown to death. Knocks over coral trying to grab food and generally lurks around. I’ll catch him one day... I love that he ate my aptasia but bullying my baby clown is my breaking point. Might trade him in for a filefish

Aw snow flurries are so innocent and cute. I hope you get the bully out! Disregard the nuisance algae, this tank is a baby.

My Frostbite Clown is a huge PITA right now. Got it and a orange storm at same time. Storm was much smaller and the frostbite killed it. Got a DaVinci and its the calmest most peaceful clown and it just wants to be friends but the frostbite keeps going at him. Have the frostbite separated for now but may end up having to rehome if it doesnt get better.

Royal Grammas. My royal gramma is bullying my clowns and my shrimp. Specifically my fire, cleaner, and Ocellaris clowns. But he only does it to my female clown, he tried to bite her but she just launches her tail or her head straight at him. it’s kind of scary. And he snips the antenna s off my shrimps. But doesn’t do a thing to my baby mandarin the size of a cerith snail
