I just bought a Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse and is getting chased and nipped at by my Dwarf Pygmy. I also saw my Engineer Goby nip at him. I have all of the lights out and fed them. My other fish are 2 Pyjama Cardinals and an Ocellaris Clown. Everyone was getting along and it was a peaceful tank. The rock is pretty well stacked and the corals are doing good on them. Is this normal for the new fish to get chased? Any suggestions? Thanks.

That kind of aggression seems fairly common when adding a new fish. I'd keep an eye on the situation, and be ready to pull out the newcomer if the fightin starts getting ugly. Any signs of missing scales, etc?

they should settle down. I acclimated a small royal gramma with a blue damsel in a 55. I'd say give it some time.
