Powder blue chasing new chromis Help!!

[pam_jane]

We have had our Powder Blue Tang for about 8 months with only 2 clown fish in our 90 gal reef tank. We just received our 3 chromis. The powder blue is chasing them and will not let them go down in the rocks. He will only let them swim at the top and even then will come up to chase them. I think that 2 are Ok but one is staying in one spot and just doesnt look good. What can I do??

just leave em alone. they may actually end up schooling together

Yeah, I would leave them alone as well. If you try doing something, you may stress out the powder blue. The powder blue is a lot more difficult to keep and a lot more delicate than the chromis.

So you dont think that he will kill the chromis?

nah, just bullying. if you see any damage to the chromis take them ot and put in a qt. i think my kole beat up a chromis, and he's doing ok a couple days later in a stressfree area.
