It did not look like they hurt each other and you can't really stop them.
No matter what you do they will go right back to it.

the usual method woud be seperation of the agressor and victim... I'd love to see them try to "go right back to it" as you put it, from two seperate aquariums.
even small cuts can lead to nasty infections. just because damage wasnt evident on the video doesnt mean that there is none. remember those scalples are like razors, and designed to do damage.
of course the question does remain, was that just the usual introduction hazing or is it developed aggression? if its new fish hazing they may get over it in short order, if its developed aggression there is a good chance it will continue untill the weaker of the two dies.

Thank!!!
They are fighting over this new live rock I put in...all fights revolve around it....its about a 10 gal area in a 300 gal tank.

I've raised all the fish from babies...when they were young they did some serious damage. Now they are mostly putting on a show.
Sorry if I offended anyone...this is not the normal behavior. The rock is making them greedy.
