    I had similar issue with an Algae Blenny many years ago
    it developed a hatred for a Regal Tang and just like yours is doing, chased it all around the tank
    my opinion is , the hatred resulted from the Tang browsing on one of the Blenny's favourite perching sites

    I did eventually have to remove the Blenny

    That is true the halk came after the blenny and it likes the same place to perch didn't think of that they been together for awhile now the halk learned were to go and not to go I think time for a smaller blenny any way
