yellowfin attacking clown & sick chromis

[lReef lKeeper]

yellow fin blue ?? a DAMNsel ?? how big is he ??

DAMNsels get more and more aggressive as they get older/ bigger. they are probably getting territorial. how big is the tank they are in ?? they are not known to stop the harrassment until the other fish is/ are dead.

i have had to remove ALL 180lbs. of my LR to catch them before.

i think its called a yellowtail blue. i dont have a pic right now.

hes about 2 inches long, bright yellow tail and a purple/blue fluroescent colored body, with some black spots on his chin.

the tank is 92 gallons and has the following:

sailfin tang
blue birdwrasse
3 black/white damsels
yellowtail blue
percula clown fish

after waiting a little while, the clown went to the right side of the tank and the yellowtail seems to be leaving him alone right now

also to add, the chromis died, along with another one last week. do the levels look ok?

i had to remove all of my LR to get that damnsel out of my tank. there was no easy solution, he terrorized my tank for months!!! he now resides in a 55gal sump where he can do no harm.

any idea why my chromis's would croak?

One is missing, possibly died under a rock or something. Is it vital for me to dig through the rocks to remove him?

the other one died and i flushed him down the toilet. poor little guy
