Saifin tang picking at Blennie

[codemann]

I purchaced a 3" sailfin tank yesterday after doing research which all said they are peaceful but I was watching him this morning and he keeps picking at my 3 1/2" lawnmower blennie and apears to be showing his strength towards my Clarkii clown. Is this normal or should I remove him?

IMO, Sailfin tangs are not peaceful towards those in the same ecological niche.

well back to LFS we go. Maybe a Hippo Tang or a leather coral will have to see when I get there. Thanks for you help and quick response

A Hepatus tang will not do well long term in a 75 gallon tank.
