Clown Tang bad news?

[EuphylliaAddict]

I noticed my clown tang chasing everything in the reef today, is this normal? It's basically the biggest fish, been thinking of getting a giant hippo tang to settle the aggression... A Rabbitfish and clown tang are the only big fish, and the clown basically bully's the rabbitfish all day plus my other fish. Would it be wise to add more tangs or should I just catch the clown and get new fish?

Clown tangs are mean as hell as they grow. Probably not with the trouble of keeping it IMO.

Clown tangs are infamously aggressive.

Yeah it's pretty wreckless the longer I watch it, especially when I added seaweed.

Yup, that's pretty much what they do - shouldn't come as a surprise LOL.

I had a tomato clown he started out as peaceful and was even buddies with my other clownfish, but he eventually became a bully. He was directly responsible for the bullying death of at least 1 maybe 2 fish (and Indirectly responsible for the death of 2 more). He had scared my wrasse and it took my Blue Hippo Tang to put him in his place. I was finally able to catch him while he was sleeping.

P.S.: my Tang and Wrasse seem much happier. Now I can continue forward.
