Coral Beauty Help!

[MacWilliams]

I have had my Coral Beauty for about 7 months. It has never shown aggression from the start to anything. Now all of a sudden its being kind of a bully to almost everything in my tank. It started with just the Bluespot Watchman Goby a few months back but it would just go into its den.

Over the past couple weeks i have noticed the Coral Beauty start to show aggression towards all of my fish randomly. Do i need to get rid of it? I would rather not but if i must then i will.. How can i deal with it? Thank you for any help


60 Gallon Cube tank 1 year old
2 B&W Clowns
Yellow "Coris" Wrasse
Sixline Wrasse
Yellow Clown Goby
Blue Spot Watchman Goby / Shrimp pair.
Skunk Cleaner

Any other info just ask. Could a illness cause a fish to be aggressive? I thought the fish i had could fend for themselves or just run and hid in all the LR i have.. The Beauty hasnt made any physical contact that i have seen. Just that side ways flashing you see fish do. But i'm worried it will get worse. When she messed with the clown pair she was run off by them and that hasnt happened again since. They others dont flash back but the Watchman puffs up for a second or two before backing off into his den.

Anyone?

I think it's probably feeling a little claustrophobic(sp?) & perhaps realized it's an angel & the others aren't, so it's behaving like one? It'll probably get worse ... time to decide who you like best ...

This happens sometimes, esp with angels (dwarf & reg). Everything's going along fine, but as they mature & grow, they also get more aggressive. Space can be a contributing factor, so he may just need a bigger tank. Sometimes they calm down after awhile; however oftentimes you start with a little angel but are left with a :angryfire:.

Hmm ok. Ya I suppose space could be an issue. I will look at relocating. Love her look tho. Sucks. Thanks for the input.
