weird

I have a Royal Gramma that has been approaching several of my other fish, especially my newest addition a bi-colored blenny( but was doing it well before he joined). The problem is that he approches a fish with his jaw fully open, but will not bite, and will basicly sit on the fish until it moves. Is this a territorial problem or just a strange fish. Should I get rid of him, and I'm shure it will eventually stess the others.

It is a territorial thing. I have a purplt dottyback which is basically the same thing and it was extremely territorial until I got a bigger fish. I assume there is no fish in your tank who is bigger then your royal so either get rid of the royal or get a bigger fish to show the royal who is boss.

Thank you blender for your help, yes infact I do plan on putting in a bigger fish, a yellow tang. Was going to last week, but none of the yellow tangs were eating at the store. I'll have to wait till this weekend. I guess I will keep him for now.
