Hello,

I have a Red Sea 525. Recently I’ve been more focused on corals and only had an anthia and yellow tang in the tank. Last night I added a baby vlimingii tang and a purple tile fish. The anthia seems to have become super aggressive and is swooping the new fish, tail flicking them and even nipping. I am not sure what to do as I cannot seem to catch the anthia to remove it. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
 
Anthias need to eat quite frequently. A bated fish trap is usually pretty effective for catching them.

I don’t have a fish trap but may need to look into buying one...
