The smart thing to do is to always immediately remove the aggressive fish because it’s simply not worth losing other animals over.

Thanks for the Shoutout on the Reef Moonshiner's, keep up the great work, and sorry for these losses. Hurts to loose species you cared for so much...................

Sorry to hear! Im in the same situation with a Flame hawk that after a year has recently turned heel, and is slowly picking off everything smaller than it. Mother Nature is a crazy thing.

So sorry for your losses, reefing can be absolutely brutal at times. Looking forward to the product spotlight series and what you do with it

Sorry for the losses. I'm in the middle of setting up my new build and have lost fish I had for 15 years. I'm in a similar situation where I have a white tail that I'm eventually adding with a yellow and purple tang. I'm praying all goes well. Fish are not as easily replaced these days. They are way more expensive now and you never want something to die that you are responsible for.

Sorry for the losses Sam. You'll bounce back stronger!

I’m sorry for your loss!

Keep your head up king. Focus on everyone thats still alive and thriving

Sorry for your loss Sam. So heartbreaking…

You corals look amazing!! So sorry for your loss, makes me worry about my Purple Tang who is still quite young but without a doubt the king of the tank. Need to keep a close eye on him. If I were in your shoes I would no doubt pack up the Purple Tang and give him to a friend with an even larger tank and start collecting again…

Glad Billy jumped on board, Fantastic service and quality at aquaristic

Well said. I'm only a year into reefing and I have nearly given up due to the brown crap covering my sand so I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is to have so many losses in such a short span of time specially when you are doing everything right and providing a wonderful habitat for your fish. ❤

Sorry to hear this, I just went through the same experience in my tank this past week. I have had a diamond watchman goby for a while along with a lawnmower blenny. Well, the lawnmower blenny decided he didn’t like the goby anymore and started pummeling him. Its a real shame too because I could watch that watchman sift through the sand all day long. I too feel the same way about my tank and my wife actually cleaned the glass because I hadn’t. I hope you have a good experience from here on out.

great vid as always sorry for you losses thou buddy

Had the same thing happen literally this month, and it all came to ahead today. Had both a Purple and Yellow tang and I have had the Yellow probably 7-8 years and I have had the Purple about 5-6 years and they had always done really well. And for some reason all of a sudden the Purple decided he did not like the Yellow and was on the verge of killing him. Tried separating them for a few weeks to see if the aggression would go away, but it was not to be. Made the heart wrenching decision to rehome the Purple before he killed my Yellow tang.

You really inspire me man. Super wholesome dude. The only thing I can kind of relate to is I had a Clownfish that would chase around my Dartfish, and it relaxed once I added a smaller clown.

Hard to push that thumbs up button for something like this. Really sorry Sam for you loss. I know the feeling all to well. Lost 3 fish recently as well. Achilles, Blonde Naso and a Mimic tang. For me it's not so much about the money loss but more about losing the beautiful animal.

Sorry to hear that Sam. I think I'd be rehoming the purple tang as he is a big fish even for your tank and he'll probably do it again out of the blue. Keep smiling

Sorry to hear Sam. When I moved my tangs into my 320 from the 190 system my Gem tang terrorized my Purple to the point that I rehomed the purple to a friend’s tank. Sometimes the switch just flips…😪

Sorry to see this! I hope you replace the purple tang. I would also say it's more proof that just because you have a bigger tank that you're safer with tangs. I have 9 tangs in a 120g and it helps to have more tangs than less to spread the aggression. More tangs is the answer to keeping tangs.
