Hi all,
We’ve recently added a Purple Tang to our reef tank which generally went well except it started harassing our Scooter Blenny.
Fish in the tank is currently: pair of clowns (One just out of juvenile stage so very small), foxface, scarlet hawkfish and the Blenny of course.
In terms of who looks like should be bottom of the hierarchy, it’s the juvenile clown, but the Tang only went for the Blenny.
We unfortunately found the Blenny upside down today. The assumption is it’s the Tang but then again we’ve only had the Blenny for a couple of weeks so is this a case of the Tang picking on a “sickly” fish who might not have gotten on as well as we thought (it was eating) or has the Tang just been a mean bully?
The Tang had generally been peaceful so I’d like to know if this is a one of or if it’s likely to pick a new victim.
Thank you!
