    Got my mimic today but the scopas is picking at it really badly, just turned the lights off to get them to all calm down, anyone got any other suggestions?

    Take the aggressor out for a couple of weeks, when you add him back rearrange the rock work... If that doesn't work someone might need to find another home...

    Good luck

    I second this.

    You could also just try rearranging thing and see how that goes.If the Scopas continues his ways after that move him out for a couple weeks.

    well as weird as it is, I was up before the lights came on yesterday, soon as the lights came on the scopas started chasing the mimic again, then all of a sudden the coris wrasse started attacking the scopas just as to say hey stop or I'll kick your butt, everyone has been calm since but was one of the weirdest things ive ever seen, maybe the scopas just ticked the coris off I dont know but was still fun to watch the bully get put in it's place
