he won't let the new sailfin tang out of a corner... this is so weird! what can i do? he chases the tang around but gets along with the other hippo, percs, and green clown goby...
how long should i wait to see if he stops? or should i take him out, and then put him back in a month from now?
(i also posted this on my sailfin tang post, just want to make sure people w/ gobies see this)

First you should get the goby out. After he's out, rearange the rock work especially where the goby hides. Turn off the lights and acclimate him a tiny bit ( about 10-15 min) and put him back in. He may be a little aggresive but after a while he should stop torturing him.

Ps I've done this before with our Purple tang. Try it.

this lil guy is nuts... i may have to take him out.. since the coral piece is so big, i can't really rearrange... maybe i will add him back a month from now? will that make a difference? or i may just get a new yellow goby and put this one in my 30...
