Moorish Idol/Trigger agression

Just a point of interest, My Moorish last night was getting a bit hacked off by my Male Bluethroat, who is getting reely frisky with the female, and chasing each other in circles. Last night he started to swim round the Bluethoat in tight circles really fast like the Indians round the Wagon Train. I know Moorish Idols don't really have any defence tools or Spines. Just wondered if anyone else has seen this behaviour, as he is normally quite chilled. Just seems to have this thing with the Trigger. In the Ocean these fish are found together, so I can't see that there should be any issues. My Tank is 8 feet, so there is no overcrowding. I've only got 8 fish in there.
Any feed back woulod be welcome
