When Tusks Attack!

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I just witnessed my tusk suddenly snap and kill a damsel and then proceed to chase my clowns to their "anemone" and my Naso tang into a cave

He has been fine for the month I have had him. Actually my Hippo beats him up a little now and then. Kind of just reminds the tusk that he is boss.

But just now I was watching the tank and suddenly he chased a damsel into some rocks, cornered it and killed it. Didn't eat it or anything, just left it. The chased my clowns to their "anemone" which is actually hairy mushrooms and then chased my Naso into a cave at which point I intervened. He seems to have settled down now but this worries me.

I have heard of Tusks being aggressive before but usually they are quite docile.

I'm sorry to hear that "When good fish go bad"
That's not the first time I've heard of a tusk doing that.... I guess the teeth aren't just ornamental!

Damsels are pretty pushy, maybe he pushed him too far!

Thats a wicked pic!

Yeah thats kind of what I figured. Perhaps he wanted to punish all damsels so he went after the clowns as well but then when the Naso stuck up for them, the tusk didn't take that well and went after him

I don't know. I knew a Tusk was always a risk. Oh well. Hopefully he got that out of his system.

I bet we shouldn't have named him "Hades"

No.... try something like "Buttercup".... you don't hear of many serial killers named "Buttercup"

At least he has good taste and won't eat a cheapo damsel, what else do you in there for him.
