So, I have a strange issue that makes no sense to me... I'll start with the basics...
40g aquarium - 2 T.R. Ocellaris Clowns - 1 Starry Blenny - 1 Ruby Longfin Fairy Wrasse. I added them in that order 4-6 weeks apart. I half expected some aggression from the clowns toward the wrasse if it came near their "turf," but I'm getting the exact opposite. The wrasse is now picking on my clowns! It's like a bad episode of Benny Hill, the wrasse comes over and starts spreading it's fins, and poking (biting?) at a clown until it chases him, then they swim in a whirlwind of circles until the wrasse decides to go hide.
Has anyone ever seen fairy wrasse aggression before? It's not food aggression (if that's a thing) because I feed them daily, and I sit there feeding slowly until they stop showing interest in food, and even then, they seem to get along during feedings.
