so i just added 2 pyramid butterfly fish to my tank today and every once and a while my coral beauty will do this to them otherwise nothing else is going on kinda weird because the coral beauty isn't aggressive at all to any other fish will it subside with time and this is nothing to worry about?

i wouldn't worry too much if its not worse than that. there is always a hierarchy in tanks so they are just sorting out the new positions

you could also try to break up feedings to multiple times a day if possible. fat, full fish that aren't concerned with not getting enough food are going to fuss less with each other

I think it looks okay for now, the CB is just established but the butterfly does look to be flaring and not completely backing down.
