Hi,
JFYI: I have a 180 gal, 1.025, 79 degree
2 ocellaris clown
3 pj cardinals
1 blue tang
1 fox face
Anyway my female clown has started attacking my fox face she will leave her "spot" go to my fox faces "spot" and charge him there. He swims to his spot when she chases him away but once he gets there he will put up his spines and stand his ground. Im concerned that he is going to cut her with his spines. She is also stressing him out. She goes through periods of aggression and will even attack me when my hand is in there, but it hasn't happend in a long time. Any theory's why she is doing this? Stress perhaps? (I've been working a little extra on the tank lately)
