Help ID this meany!

This Blue fish was sold to me as a scaredy cat. He is beating up everything smaller than him, except the smaller clown. Can someone ID him so I can do a little research on him?

Blue damsel, known for being aggressive and a pain in the butt

 

[PcDr32]

Thank You. Back to the Fish Store he goes.

Yeah, they are behavior problems; lots of other fish to choose from. Might consider something like an orchid dottyback to mix in with your clowns and tang.

Thank You. Back to the Fish Store he goes.

Good choice

Yes he already killed my dotty back, and you can see the Royal Gramma hiding under the hollywood stunner, because if he shows his face the Damsel attacks him.

Chrysiptera cyanea, the damsel that is known as the 'Blue Devil'. Though there are damsels that are relatively peaceful, this one and members of the Dascyllus genus are particularly aggressive. Definitely send him back as everyone else recommends.

Haha, yeah the blue damsel. I have 4 of them. The 2 small ones pick on each other, the 2 larger ones pick on the 2 smaller ones and my Anthias chases them all into the rocks when they get a bit too rowdy. Been going on for almost 2 years now. They never actually 'bite' or cause injuries to each other, just a lot of chasing.
I agree with others though, if they are injuring others, they would have to go.

In that particular picture, that has got to be the most miserable looking girl clown I have ever seen! ;Smuggrin

Agreed, sounds like they told you that to trick you...
