Barbonius Anthias an Aggressive Fish

[reefkeeper180]

I have to BA and they use to be very friendly when I purchase them. I got one first then added the 2nd a week later. But now the bigger of the 2 is a very aggressive added a Clown tank yesterday to my tank and man the bigger BA keeps messing with it. Also added a powder blue tang and he is fine.

they are very aggressive to conspecifics (ie the same species and often same genus) and can also be agressive to other fish.
