also the foxface is not an angel so you would mostlikely have less agression with the foxface than if you left the emperor. thats why he is in hiding all the time.. the big guy goes after the emperor so hard that he is just staying in that little corner. I think getting rid of the foxface would be the worst way to go.. one of the others should be the one to leave. or buy a 600 gal tank

After thinking a lot about this last night, I really thought about what you said about how the foxface is able to defend himself and how the emperor needs to be the first to move since the king has cornered him. So this morning I talked to Steve and he was ok with the emperor moving to the reef tank. I figured I would take this step first and then continue to monitor the king's aggression towards the foxface and if it gets really bad (goes further than just a nipped tail) then I will look into re-homing the foxface. Right now the foxface swims out in the open and doesn't let the king's bad behavior bother him.

If I were you and HAD to keep the King, I would rehome some fish and set it up as an aggressive tank. It would be way cool as well.

This is basically what I'm doing. The original plan for the tank was to be a tank of a few angel fish but now it will be more of an aggressive tank, which it basically is. The tank has the king angel, foxface, bursa trigger, lunare wrasse, miniatus grouper and blue spot toby puffer. Maybe later down the road I will add a lion fish.
