Question. Should I be worried about aggression to newcomers coming from any of the below tank mates in particular the chromis?

Receiving fully quarantined tiger tail coral beauty and a pair of bimac anthias (originally was only supposed to be square back anthias but long story short vendor messed up order last minute and we landed on the bimac pair and coral beauty)

Tank is 100gal DT mixed reef, 140gal total volume. Been up for 2yrs, lots of rock work, nutrient export not an issue


Current tank inhabitents royal gramma, blue green chromis, pintail fairy wrasse, diamond goby, mandarin goby, banggai cardinal, perc clown, and aiptasia eating file fish.

Everyone is pretty chill but chromis is definitely trying to be tank boss. Just a little chasing around of a few fish that's all.

I have acclimation boxes and a fish trap so there's different ways I can go about all this if need be. Thanks for any input

I assume these chromis are at the typical 1-2” size & your 100G is over 4’ long.

In general, chromis isn’t an aggressive species to others & the two fish species that you are adding should be okay as far as compatibility goes with all your fish.
