sohal tang

ALso posted on reef board.
Sohal seems to be geting more agressive as he gets older and larger. He's in a 125 w/ hippo, yellow, emperor, heniochus, falme angel, maroon clown and 2 hawks. Agression at peak during feeding time and concentrated towards hippo( similar shape) and heniochus. Thought about moving them but I really like them together in the 125. The agression only seems to kich up for a bit during feeding then he calms down. What to Do???

Sohal Tang are one of the more aggressive tangs!

I have the Sohal 7in with a big queen angel and purple tang in a 150gl the Sohal fights with everyone;
Once he waited next to a cleaner shrimp for service the cleaner refused the Sohal became furious and bit off its head then he ripped the rest into little pieces
But the best part is to see him square off with the big Queen they both stretch their fins to the max and twist and turn with each other but never touch

I have a 7 inch sohal with large queen. It is very agressive during feeding also but only is agressive to the large queen. The other smaller fish it lets go and does not harass. I don't think it considers them a threat. I usually trying to feed the sohal first and it calms down after that and I can feed the rest of the tank.
