So I just got my first tang and while I was researching prior to getting one, I read sometimes tangs espeically koles can have a vendetta against lawnmower blennys but I havent heard much more then thst. I do have a tail spot blenny and I started to sell the tang come out a lil more but only to realize hes picking on the blenny. He doesnt do much then just kinda stare him down and what would seem just intimidating the blenny with tail fluttering. Anyone have any problems with this?

I've had that problem before. Pretty similar situation, too. I wound up getting rid of the blenny because he was easier to catch. Man... I think that was in my old 225g tank... long time ago.

That tang would shoot across the tank just to "nosedive" into the blenny. Little bastid! LOL

Lol my blue eye kole isnt thst bad and hopefully he wont insist on it. Its like he was sizing him him up and keeps him in check really now. No biting, yet so hopefully it wont get that far.

Biting? That thing will whip the sh!t out of that blenny, if it gets the chance. LOL! I wouldn't worry about it unless the pricier fish starts getting whooped. Such is reefing, little bro. :D

Lol they'd both about the same in price so no worries.though I favor my blenny because he is my first fish I got.
