Who is your tank bully?

[Keybilly]

I thought this might be a fun thread! Post the name and picture of the creature in your tank that is the biggest bully and tell us why! :-)

This is Bazooka, he is a squareback anthias and he terrorizes my chromis by chasing back onto their side of the tank anytime they get even remotely close to his area!

Mine is a yellow candy hogfish in our 90 and a yellow flank wrasse in our 120.

Yellow hog doesn't like any fish that eats pods or his food... He beat up are target mandarin and had to remove the mandarin as couldn't catch the hog fish.

Yellow flank just is a butt head and thinks he is king of the tank. We put a bag into float coral or fish and he attacks it to try and get to it. Lol it's funny.

Sarah...that purple square anthias is a bully? Dang it. I just got 1. Hope mine is a sweet apple. My bully or murderer I should say is the arc eyed hawkfish that snuck his way into my DT. He has demolished all my shrimp. In fact I saw him the other day with my cleaners pretty white antanas sticking straight out of his mouth. The shrimp was 3 times his size? Nice 30$ meal. What a bugger. Wish I could catch the sucker.

Mystery Wrasse and 6 line.
I used to also have a hawaiian 4 line and he was relentless. Killed a labouti wrasse and a flame wrasse trio... even though I had acclimated them in a box in the tank for 3 weeks.

I evicted all my bullies last year. They all went to good homes and proved that my warnings were right. The bullies were a lemon peel angel (became known as the damsel killer in someone else's tank) and a bicolor dottyback.

mystery wrasse. Took a year but now he likes to chase my other wrasses.

Oh man! I have totally been there with losing a $30 shrimp to a hawk fish before! We once bought a shrimp that was twice the size of the hawk fish thinking sure enough he won't be able to eat it... WRONG. And goodluck with your Squareback, I hope yours is a nice one. I have heard of a lot of people having really docile squarebacks, I think I just have bad luck.

Haha oh no! They must be a mated pair? Or be protecting an anemone?

Mine without a shadow of a doubt was my domino damsel (moomoo) my son named him, he actually killed 2 leopard wrasses. He now resides in my sump my son not allowing me to let him go to the lfs

 

[ak_reefer]

Yeah its an adventure any time I have to do anything in there. Crazy thing about it is they are from captive raised broodstock so 2 generations removed from the wild and yet they still have the demon gene.but I still love em!!

My Fathead Anthias dominates all shaded area's in my 120

I don't have any bullies, but the BOSS is my Sailfin Tang.

 

[Ward9320]

My cleaner shrimp gets on my nerves sometimes because every time I spot feed the corals that little bugger always manages to come and steal the food from them.

My clowns seem so sweet and innocent and like someone else said as soon as you stick you hand in the tank they turn into raging bulls. I know they are just protecting the nem but dang, haven't they ever heard "Don't bit the hand that feeds you"
