    I have seen the CB go at the clowns maybe once. The Kole tang was put in before the CB.

    I agree if you decide to take one back i would choose the Kole. He is going to have to go at some point. The CB will do fine in your tank. My CB was in my RSM for a little while whith no probs. Great fish always swimming around in the front. Good luck

    Thanks so much for your help! But... if I get rid of the Kole.... will the aggresion stop with the coral beauty? Is it just a matter of space? Thanks again!

    How long has the CB been in there? Are they still in the lets get to know each other stage? I have had fish go at it for 2 weeks before finally being freinds.

    The CB seems to have a problem with the Kole being he is not messing with the clowns much. Maybe your LFS will let you trade for another CB. Sometimes one fish just doesn't get along with another. Both the Kole and the CB like to hide in the rocks and if they both like the same place. Another thing i have done is rearanged my rock to make sure both have a good spot. Just an idea.

    Well the CB has been in there for maybe a little more than 2 months. This is the first time I have noticed the major aggresion.

    Also... reararanging rock is really not a possibility. I have too much fragile coral in danger. Much of it has grown to the rocks.

    I just started noticing it maybe 1 month ago. It was not as bad at that time though.
