How about fish you hate?

A lot of hate for lawnmower blennies.

They are mean as well and will often go after deep bodied fish like tangs and angels, scraping their sides with their mouth, I had one go after an asfur angel and the fish eventually died from a resultant bacterial infection. Nasty little fish, not as bad as a sixline but right up there.

Wow, thank you for posting that. I thought they were quiet, little, Dr. Seuss grazers.

Agreed there. Had one years ago that was very very aggressive.
 
I don't know if I hate them or not, but I am not a big fan to the zebrasoma genus of tangs. They just seem to look odd compared to other fish with such a long snout, and some purples that I see on DD get deep chested (I am assuming well fed individuals).
 
Sorry to see the Six-Line Wrasse get so much hate on this thread and throughout the forum. It's my first and longest lived saltwater fish...... still going strong at 13 years old!! He resides with a Firefish and a mated pair of Clowns. He did bully a Royal Gramma to death by making it constantly hide.... I won't put anything else in the tank after that happened.
The juvenile Neon Velvet Damsel I acquired to have something cheap and cool looking for my frag grow out tank 10 years ago is another story..... he got so big and mean I had to give him his own 55 gallon FOWL tank. Forget about keeping corals with this monster, he would bite, tear and knock 'em around. He even cleared all the sand on the right half of the tank to a pile on the left side.... the tank looked horrible for years. What really got me, was he would rip flesh off my hands and arms whenever I cleaned the tank!! As mean as he was, I didn't have the heart to give it away for fear someone would just kill him. After 10 years of love/hate the beast finally passed on..... I'm now stocking the tank with some VERY peaceful and carefully selected fish!!

Your avi is looking pretty deep chested.
 
+1 for chromis, I started with 5, then there were 4, 3, 2 and yup you guessed it.......
1

At least you have one. I bought 3 and 2 weeks later in QT, all dead. They all killed each other. Lol. It was kind of amusing to think they all killed each other off.
 
I hate the royal gramma. I once had an office tank and the gramma was so evil to the other fish. One day I came into my office to find a big chunk taken out of my ocellaris' side. It was the gramma. Not to mention its bitten me before, and was a jumper! It was nearly impossible to catch, even in an inch of water! Never again.
 
None. I catch and remove any fish that causes a problem :p

I suck at catching fish.

I have 4 blue reef chromis for at least 8 months now. they do OK together. no deaths.

My red sea blue cleaner wrasse developed a taste for sps polyps...
 
Christmas wrasse - Halichoeres claudia. Picked on every fish, invert and coral I added to the tank. And would purposely watch a snail crawl up a wall just to pick it off the wall swing it around in its mouth and spit it into the sand.
