So my Midas Blenny has always acted like the king of the tank but mostly left everyone alone, aside from occasionally chasing my Flame Hawkfish. However, since I added a new group of fish (a Lyretail Anthias school + an Earmuff Wrasse), he’s decided to remind everyone who’s in charge.

The Anthias are mostly fine with minimal nipping, but the Earmuff disappeared into the sand just minutes after introduction. (smaller side she's 3-4 inches I want to say) I’m pretty sure the Midas gave him a rough welcome.

Would it be better to isolate the Midas for a few days, try to rehome him, or am I overreacting since I only added the new group yesterday?

I would wait it out, they will figure out the pecking order soon enough.
