It doesn’t look like a tail slap from yellow .

Those are bite marks. Someone is being a meany

I had to hide out of sight to catch my powder blue attacking the fish. Never did that while I was in the room.

That’s what I thought ..

the smudge on his side is actually the glass. .
Not the fish .

I wasn't worried about the smudge, the sailfin has a couple mouth chunks missing

Hope you find the aggressor.

The yellow belly blue tang is my wife’s fish .
doubled its size since we got it .
but she’s camera shy .
Never stays still long enough to get a picture of

Hi, if you don't mind me asking. How long have you had the orange shoulder tang for? I have had mine about 2 years and it hasnt started to change from juvi colors from adult. I think I read its an aggression thing? The more dominant the fish is, the more likely it is to change, is your Orange Shoulder Tang the boss of your tank?

I look forward to following your build. Good luck!

You'll get one of the yellow belly, eventually. All those nice fish. I need to upgrade again.

It can happen. They look so innocent and act shy. I bet its all an act.

I don’t believe he’s the boss .
But no one messes with him .
besides mata and foxface he would be the 3rd largest fish .
I bought him about 6 months ago. .
Yellow ish in colour but you can See the transition line where it could be changing soon .

They aren’t innocent at all .

The left side of my face , sinus’s , and right hand throbbed .

be careful when handling them !
