Blue Damsel Behavior

[aquariumkeeper9]

I have a question about my blue damsel. Ever since i bought him six months ago he has a behavior that none of my other fish have. He goes to the corner of the tank towards the sandbed and kicks the sand around getting it all over my corals. Is there a way to stop this???

is he scratching?

Yeah, even when they aren't attacking other fish, damsels seem to find a way of just asking to be flushed.

Mine does it too. I wondered one day why the sand was pushed back in the front corners of my tank. The tank is by my bed and it did it in the middle of the night and I looked over and the sand was all over the place. It was in a different tank for a while but never did it until I moved it to this new tank. Maybe because it is the dominant fish now.

No
Is he doing it in just that spot?

Yeah I've got one that does the same thing. He is a real pain in the butt honestly. I wish I had never bought the fish as he harasses every new addition to the point of sickness or death. I've tried everything short of removing everything from the tank and I can't catch him.

He does it because he is the devil, just like all damsels.
