I have read that they can be territorial and this guy seems to fit it.
Currently I have 1- six line wrasse, 3 green chromis and a diamond headed goby, all have been doing great and get along in my 40 gallon long 48" x 12" x 16"....Then comes along Mr. diadema, He was just put in yesterday, he seems very angry and has set up his little space on one side of the tank and when another fish comes by his area he chases them away along with the cleaner shrimp, but the shrimp won't back down. Now all of the other fish congregate on one side of the tank. My concern is stress, the other fishes stress and mine. Should I take him back or maybe rearrange the rocks (he'll probably just set up another area of terror).. Im thinking this probably won't pass with time.
Thanks
Joe
