Well I have such bad luck now. I just got the blond naso tang about 4 inch. He gets pick on by a 5 inch foxface the first day. Day two they pick on each other the naso return fire and its a constant cat and mouse game. Just now I see that the rabbit fish turns black like angry or irritation. But the naso keeps going on top of the foxface where the poisons spike are at... I'm scare that the foxface will kill the naso by poking my naso. Its gonna be a big hassle to remove the foxface. Have any one else have this problem with the foxface? Or maybe they are just messing with each other and no harm will be done?

Have this happen all the time in our 180 with 3 rabbit fish, one of which is a foxface. The bully tang in question will usually get stung once or twice and call it quits for the day. Never anything serious though. Usually the first 2 days is the worst, best time to add the new fish is close to lights out, gives them a few minutes to meet/tussle then immediately go to bed.
