Who is the jerk in your tank?

[DarkReefer]

I had a 2 spot bristletooth tang that was a complete jerk when it wanted to be.
It starved out my sandsifter by chasing it any time it came out for food.

Also had a whip fin fairy wrasse that was a ******* too. Often bullied new additions.

My hermit crabs tick me off!

Always knocking stuff over

Depends on the day lol

For me, it is this guy...

Any time I get my hand within a couple feet of the Euphillia he calls home, he swims over and bites me. Not painful, but startling for sure.. lol... He is fine with the other fish in the tank, but he definitely doesn't like my hand. Or maybe, he likes it, just in the wrong way lol.

So, who is your tank jerk?

My clown fish is exactly to your Euphilla.

I have 8 jerks in my tank. 6 staghorn damsels. 3" and they bite my hand/arm. They also are mean to each other and to new fish for a few days. At night, these 2 face off, going back and forth like revving a car engine with hackles (top fins raised) and they 1 charges the other. On other side of tank another 2 do similiar. When chasing they hit the surface and splash water 3 feet to my desk. Got my cat once. The other 2 are the darwin damsels. They also attack and bite and draw blood. None will go into a fish trap!!

Clowns. It’s always the darn clowns.

Has to be this guy. Im no longer even trying to add any new fish

I just added one, I'm curious how it will go long term.

For me, as long as I don't get too close to his home, all is good. Breach the boundary at your own risk.. lol

I have a whipfin thats being harassed by a blue throat wrasse. The blue throat is turning into a terror.

Clownfish…always clownfish. I have had a wide variety of fish throughout the years. However, none compare to how aggressive and territorial my clownfish have been. As soon as I do any tank maintenance is when they turn into jaws.

What kind of fish is that? Looks like a clown but I have never seen that coloration.

Answered this before, but no worries.. It is a "Red Saddleback Anemonefish"... Amphiprion ephippium

OHHH Pencil urchin!! I had one for a while and he ate my pulsing xenia... After I donated him to my LFS, the girls that work there told me they saw it eat a snail. I didn't see it myself, but I don't believe they would lie to me.

To me, the clown. To all the other fish, the Lyretail Anthias.

My Six line wrasse Lips, swimming around with the carcass of the first inhabitant of my tank after it recently molted.

Is that a porcelain crab?
The six line is a beautiful wrasse but is a nasty one as well.

My tuxedo urchin who's never satisfied with the amount of coral on his head. He's been eyeing my pinwheel colony all week and I've been having to move him away, and I put some coral rubble on his head to make him feel more protected

One day you’ll give in… one day the urchin will win.

I didn't catch him in time yesterday and he tore off a single polyp like he was testing me
