Coral bandids in general are very aggresive in nature... I had a couple of them when I first started and did not know about them..
Killed a bunch of shrimp ( skunkcleaners, blood, peps ) and were also chasing fish that came near his side of the tank....

They look pretty but soon you will know about their other side..
My uncle has one too... he now knows who's killing his small fish..

Get the gold banded ones. They are smaller and less aggressive.

Or even get the blue bodied ones. Similar to the gold/yellow ones.
