They would go after my hand and other stuff but so many fish and crabs that its a loosing battle by the end of the second day they are all goneThat is interesting, do they not protect the eggs, like pairs of clownfish do?

The blue one does look like a bully. Also really cool goniopora, I have never seen a yellow one before
Thanks. It's really more pink. But the lighting on this pic did make it look yellow.The blue one does look like a bully. Also really cool goniopora, I have never seen a yellow one before
Quoting Wikipedia: "Duncan MacLeod travels the world in search of friendship and adventure, helping people when he can, sometimes fighting alongside or against other immortals"Thanks. It's really more pink. But the lighting on this pic did make it look yellow.
The big one bullies everyone. The small one is actually nicknamed duncan mcleod. He killed all the other chromis. There can only be one.
What are these? Love the colors

I believe those are Barrier Reef Chromis (Chormis Nitida): https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productDetail.asp?did=1&pid=757&cid=15
I really want a school of them for my new tank, but from @Haydn's comments, it sounds like they might be more trouble than its worth.
Have you identified the species of Chromis in the first picture.
Sorry not entirely sure (to me he is just the blue one ). But just comparing him to closest picture in liveaquaria I think it's this one. https://m.liveaquaria.com/product/113/?pcatid=113Have you identified the species of Chromis in the first picture.
Yes they are Nitida, the colours in my photo do not do them justice they are stunners but after my experience with them I do not think they are a group fish, however, I think a singleton in a tank would look stunning.
I don't think its C. cyanea. I've had a quick search on the web and the closes I can come is C. punctipinnisSorry not entirely sure (to me he is just the blue one ). But just comparing him to closest picture in liveaquaria I think it's this one. https://m.liveaquaria.com/product/113/?pcatid=113
Hmmmm maybe? Not sure of course. But I would say mine has the distinct black lines of the cyanea picture. Let me take another pic this afternoon when I get home.I don't think its C. cyanea. I've had a quick search on the web and the closes I can come is C. punctipinnis
Assuming the below wikipedia article is correct, C.punctipinnis can reach a size of up to 10 inches. The fish in @boacvh picture doesn't look anywhere near that big.C. punctipinnis
Oh no! If this bully gets any bigger than he already is, he'll have to come outAssuming the below wikipedia article is correct, C.punctipinnis can reach a size of up to 10 inches. The fish in @boacvh picture doesn't look anywhere near that big.

Here is another picture. Next to the foxface so you can gauge size. Really have no clue but I would say he does look more like the first pic of the cyaneaHmmmm maybe? Not sure of course. But I would say mine has the distinct black lines of the cyanea picture. Let me take another pic this afternoon when I get home.
