You said you fed veggies to calm your anthias down. I was just remarking that mine won't touch the stuff.

well what type of anthias , i understood your post, but there are other methods for other anthias

Giving daily nori strips seems to be helping. The tang is still chasing things but not with the same ferocity. Also is swimming much more relaxed instead of darting everywhere. I will keep posting the results.

Oh. He's a Bartlett's. He had a mate but she passed away in a botched tank move. :'(

@Naiad
-good to hear , its a effective method for relaxing them

@Eienna
ah the barletts is a nice species, and your right that species is more predatory than the squarback i have. the Bartlett's usually likes to have a shady overhang and that can cause them to loose some aggression, i presume you have an open tank for him, so maybe ad a ledge structure if you dont have one? or add some live food , it can also help relieve tension if they "hunt"

Mine chases the gramma into her hole every now and then, but he's actually pretty chill. Probably partly because I do have a bit of an overhanging structure for him.

As for hunting. I leave the powerhead on when I feed so he can chase the food. He's not nearly as interested when it's not moving around.
