My carpenter wrasse has been "dive bombing" and flashing a lot towards my midas blenny. Blenny will be hanging out on rock and incoming flashing wrasse attacks suddenly causing blenny to retreat to home. I've seen them "get into it" a couple times, but only lasting a couple seconds. They are the only two fish in a 75G at this time. The wrasse doesn't seem to be displaying "peaceful" behavior. Is this normal behavior, or something to cause alarm? Thanks.
 
stick a mirror on the end of the tank alot of times this will help as he see's himself and will flash at himself, also the blenny might be sitting on the spot where the wrasse sleeps
 
i would also step up a bit on the feeding as they will then not think they are competing for food and it may help out . i feed heavily and if i dont many times my fish act a bit nastier twards each other .
