Scopas tang and foxface aggression

[i cant think]

When it comes to a yellow and sailfin
Does size have a lot to do with it .
Thinking of my system , the yellow is probably 2x compared to the sailfin .

Size is a lot to do with aggression but at the same time the smallest can be the most aggressive.

In my case towards the new fish ,
The smallest sailfin that had his butt kicked hard . Is the most aggressive but not even the same family . Just a new fish

The foxface has definitely got a poke mark on the side of him and is a bit pale around the mark. Something to be concerned about you reckon?

Can't seem to get it to eat and is yet to pick at the hair algea on the rocks

 

[I never finish anythi]

My powder blue would often pick on my foxface , so I had to get rid of my fox which I loved . But he was getting to big for my tank anyway. The foxface now lives in a 22ft tank which is amazing.

It should heal quickly, but definitely keep an eye on it. Anytime my fox gets a blemish it usually is most noticable due to paleness around the area.
Hopefully he starts eating something. I'd try a nori clip at each end of tank and some frozen all at once. Hopefully the Scopas settles down, or the fox teaches him what his spines can do.

Little update on this situation.

Aggression has pretty much stopped, well I've not seen any for last few days.

I ended up taping a small mirror to one side if the tank where the scopas hangs out. Never actually seen the scopas attacking the mirror so can't say it's 100% down to that.

Foxface now eating nori and the odd bit of mysis, still not picking at the rocks
