Hubbs got me some fish today, and while I was assured by the local reef store all would be well, upon further reading I’m kinda freaking out. I purchased two dottybacks for my system. I have some photos. One(the dark kne seems only to buck up to the larger, he leaves the clowns be. However the other one has proceeded to claim the goby/ pistol shrimp cave. I was told he wouldn’t mess with the shrimp because he snaps, and would most likely hurt the fish if he keeps up. Can anyone tell me what they are, maximum size and if I need to tear up my tank to sump them? They are fast, so this is about as good as I could get.

One seem to be Black Neon (P. Aldabraensis x Springeri)
and the other is Electric Indigo (P. Fridmani x Sankeyi)
