Just curious if they are put together do they usually fight to the death? or does one chase the other one out everytime it sees it? i'm just curious thanks.

Doubtful you'd see a death match, but more a constant harassment; chasing, nipping, etc.. the weaker one would more than likely die from stress as opposed to injury.

It also depends on the size of the tank. In a tank big enough there may be no incident at all.

I keep 2 together, a Flame and Coral Beauty...they are about the same size and were added together. They were initially introduced in a 125 reef with about 200lbs of LR. Now they are in a 215 and they not only show no aggression, they hang out and swim together. People that know 'the industry' come over and are amazed that they don't bother each other.

i'm actually not surprised. when i first started this hobby a few years ago, i didn't know much about saltwater fish themselves other than how to set up the tank. i put a flame and a coral beauty in a 55 and i never had one problem. i didn't even add them at the same time either.
