Ok, i got a yellow eye tang (4") a few days ago, and the same day got a lawnmower blenny (3") they are in my 180, and the tang is bullying the crap out of the blenny, like bitting, not tail whipping! he leave my clowns alone, and is always swimming along side with my watanbei angel. (very cute) they are really in love. lol
so what should i do with the agression? and will i be able to add other fish? tangs?
i redid the rock today, but i doubt anything will change.

my kole hates my lawnmower as well, my lawnmower has learned to avoid the kole tang and no real damage is ever done. The kole never chases any other fish..........

My Yellow eyed kole goes after new tank mates only.. Then it settles down 24-48 hours later...

I had a bristletooth tang and it would beat the hell; out of my alage blenny. Until I took the tang out.

They are food competitors. My striped bristletooth tang killed my twin spot goby less than a week ago. My tang wouldn't let it come out to eat and it starved to death.

my kole has taken control of the tank as well, but i'd agree its probably food competition.
