Help!!! FlameHawk Fish

[roguecardinal]

Got a flamehawk fish yesterday and my sailfin blenny will not leave him alone. The flamehawk is not looking good, his once bright red color is turning white. Has anyone else had this problem with their blenny? Will he stop after awhile? Is my flamehawk dying because he is turning white?
HELP?

sailfin blennies are very aggressive,and probably will keep bothering the hawk.The hawk's color is fadeing because he is stressed,you have to get rid of one of them if you want the hawk to live.

Thats what I figured. I am going to put the flamehawk in my friends tank until he gets better and until I can get rid of my blenny. Thanks

My lawnmower blenny used to chase my hawk around, now they get along fine. Try rearranging the rocks or decorations in the tank. Or try taking out the blenny for a few weeks, then put him back in and see how they act.

Which fish did you have first the bleeny or the flamehawk. We are thinking about taking the blenny out and giving him to our friend for a couple of weeks and then moving him back. The only problem is catching the damn thing, we really do not want to move all of the live rocks, anyone got any ideas for catching a blenny.

try moving some rock around, sometimes these fish establish what they think is their territory, and rearraging their home or moving them for a while(then bring them back), gives them a sense of it being a new home, where they have no marked territory(so to speak), it forces them to make a new territory but if you are to move one , i would try sending the blenny for a couple of weeks, and them try bringing him back
