Grrrrr! Why does this hobby always have to throw you a curve ball every now and then? Everything has been running smoothly for months, but now in the last week my Sailfin has taken a disliking to Bubba the Trigger. Other than feeding time, Bubba will not come out of his cave. The minute the food is gone the Tang starts up on him, flaring his fins and snapping his tail, forcing him back to his cave. I have had the SF for 3 years now and he is about 7" long. Other than acting up on a new fish for a short time, he has never shown much aggression. I'll give it a few more days and if there is no change Mr. Sailfin will be taking a time out in the frag tank.
Here's some pics of the two:
