Yellow eye bulling Diamond gobies ?

[Gentleman bunny]

Hey everyone, I know what people say about tangs aggression ect, however, does anyone have any tips to calm? or any reasons why? my tang randomly switched one day and decided to bully the Gobies? they were fine for ages then boom.

Mine does the same thing. It dive bombs orange spot goby all the time. I think he does it because that's the only fish that he gets a reaction from. The fish dives back into its tunnel.

How long have the two fish been together? Sometimes time is all they need. GL.

How do your gobies do regarding it? i mean It would be nice to actually see my fish but as long as they are alive.

Besides some corals being added, things are exactly the same I have made sure of it !

My own kole tang held a deep hatred for algae blennies - which are competitors for food.

Wonder if yours sees the goby's resemblance to blennies . . .

Funny you should mention that, my Yellow Tang and Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel both hated my Diamond Watchman the first couple of days they were in the tank, but after that they backed off and left it alone.
