I picked up a fire fish for my 55 gallon about 3 weeks ago now and for the first few days it mostly hid. Recently it has began moving out of its hole more and has become the center of aggression for my coral beauty and female clownfish. They will both take turns chasing it around the tank. Last Friday I added a lawnmower blenny and no fish shows any signs of aggression towards it. The blenny is allowed to freely move about the tank and graze where it pleases. So should I look to rehome the firefish?

firefish are the fish you always want to add first to your tank. The only thing they fight is their own species. Blennies hang out in a completely different part of the tank and they aren't afraid to fight back. Firefish on the other hand don't even try to fight they just bolt back into their hole. I recommend rehoming it to be honest
