Hello
 So bully update, I came home from work today to find some interesting dynamics beginning to unfold, my other two tangs ( Regal and Naso) a well as my Regal Angel have formed a sort of support team for my new Yellow Tang, who is certainly the smallest of them) They seem to have formed a bit of a club.. They all swim around together.. Sometimes in synce.. And when the Clownfish starts to pull rank on the YT, (who doesn't seem too concerned btw) the other tangs and angel start defending him and protecting him!! It's so cool!! I would also like to ad that my clownfish has never done this aggressor act with any other fish.. I am wondering if it is because his (the clown's) fins are bright yellow.. I am wondering if perfaps that color is the trigger for him? The fact that the new tang is yellow also? Same color of yellow as the clowns find in fact. Just a momentary musing.. Regardless, I do know the other tangs and angel are certainly helping out the YT in a manor thT I have never seem before. When I had fresh water Frontosa Chiclids the larges one of the tank woul interviene if the second larger would start bullying other fish.. The boss woul always break it up, but I have never seen a group of fish work I a common purpose, which is the defending of a fellow tank mate. Soo very interesting and cool!!

Here is a pick of Starsky the Picasso Clarkii Clown. I am thinking of changing his name to Bluto
 Not the best quality, just my iPhone. Will try to get a better one soon that shows his markings better.

may be that the clown is getting ready to lay eggs.

Psst, they are called Galaxy or Meteor Clarkii (depending on markings), not Picasso. Picassos are Percula clowns. The Galaxy and Meteor Clarkii come from a facility in the Philippines, and currently is the only place these are available from. I have a few of them, and they are very cool clowns.
Back on topic, if you come to this situation in the future try taping a small mirror to the side of the near where the aggressor likes to hang out. Most times this will distract the aggressor so much he will not pay much attention to the newcomer.

The people at J&L's sold it to me as a Picasso Clarkii. It looks like the one in this article as well.

It's all the same to me, I love him no matter what he is! Lol
I just needed advice on him bullying the tang. But they all seem to be working things out amongst themselves

Yep, those are the ones. The breeder is calling them Galaxy and Meteor. Hobbyists and LFS are not calling them the proper name. That's why the article you referred to called them "Picasso-type". It is respectful to the breeder to call the fish by the correct name.
Do you have just the one? Have you considered pairing with another?Last edited by Myka; 07-26-2012 at 11:49 PM.
