Dwarf angel protecting other fish?

[seasand23]

So my dwarf angel fish sometimes rubs against my lawnmower blenny a few times while he is laying on the rocks. He allows it. It doesnt look threatening and the angel shows no attempt to bite or tail whip...just a few rubs. Any clue what that is all about?

Note that my male clown bullies the lawnmower blenny. Today when he was staring down the blenny, the angel came between them and layed over the blenny until the clown left. Is this a sign of solidarity?

I recently introduced a powder blue tang, gem tang and a Red Sea regal into the dt (they been living in the sump together) and my purple tang started to attack the gem tang cause he was the smallest one. I noticed the PBT and regal would go in between them n play peace keeper.

One thing I have learned from some of the most agressive fish out there...Mbuna...is there is always a tank boss and if you have a good tank boss noone is allowed to fight without his permission. I have a 8 inch bumblebee who is like oh if you want fight you get to fight me...or hide. He won't let anyone else fight either other. It's either you two stop or he kicks both their butts.

My royal gramma is kind that way. When the clown gets weird towards blenny she too often moves towards the clown like chill.
