turn caps off please. How big is your tank? Do you have QT set up? If so remove the Coral beauty. Place it in QT. Allow everything else to get settled. Then in about a week try and put the coral back in with the lighst off at night when all fish are sleeping and see what happens. You may have a case of mixing angels that didnt work. Coral beauty can be pretty aggressive. Was it the only fish in the tank? How long did you have it in the tank if it was?

Quarantine Tank, for now all you can do is turn off the lights so everyone hides and goes to bed leave them off for a day or two then turn the back on and see if he is still going after them. also is just chasin them or actually beating them up?

if he is just chasing them I'd turn the lights on in the morning and watch for a little while if it doesn't seem like he is getting any better than turn the lights back off and leave them off for a day or two

My guess is that your coral beauty will calm down after a while, give it a few days to a week.

yeah but he may cause the other fish to get too stressed and not eat.

get your other fish to eat. If they are that nervous give two weeks.

He should settle down after awhile. Mine cops an attitude with new fish but eventually settles down. My six line is really bad.

If the vermiculated is similar size and shape to the Coral Beauty its no surprise that hes acting that way. The general rule is to only add 2 similar Angels to a tank at the same time. If you add 1 after the first has established territory the first will most likely become very aggressive.
