    Default please identify this fish

    I know it is an anthias, but not sure what kind. It is turning into the bully of my tank.

    Can you tell me what kind it is?

    The fish seems pretty agressive in chasing other fish (especially my green chromis) away (yet leaves my clowns and cardinals alone), but I have not seen it actually nip or touchthe other fish. Is this normal tank behaviour?

    Yes that is normal in my tank , they switched role back and forth.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...
