Coral beauty and firefish

[lilclowns]

My coral beauty has never tried to hurt my goby until now. He is always trying to nip at him, he recently fit a piece of his tail. Why does my coral beauty do this? I thought they would get along fine?

Was the angel already in the tank then you added the goby? I would try rearranging the rock work this will change the territories. If that doesn't work remove the coral beauty for a month then reintroduce it to the tank.

How long have you had the two fish together?
Have you change anything recently? Cut back on feeding? Added any more new fish?

The firefish was there first. I don't have rocks stacked up to rerrange..

They have been in there a little longer than a month together, but the goby has been in there for almost a year. I have not changed anything or cut back on feeding. He didn't do it at first I don't know what the problem is. No, Coral Angel is the last fish
