My powder brown has been a tank bully. I removed a powder blue because the brown was homicidal. The brown then started chasing a clown tang. Clown tang just swam away and the brown chased him. Not homicidal, no real issue or violent aggression. Just a fair amount chase a part of the day.

Today the powder brown is swimming in the corner into high flow. He looks fine, was just qt'd with no issues. If stick my hand in the tank and quickly hides.

But the brown is not bothering the clown anymore and the clown seems to run the tank, or at least no one picks on him and he picks on no one either.

The more i look at the powder brown, it makes me think he's sulking. That's what it looks like. Like he got his butt kicked and pushed off his high horse?

Anyone have a similar experience?
