Highly aggressive and made my yellow watchman goby jump out of the tank!

Dottybacks are worse than damsels IMO & E.

Absolutely for most of the species, though there a few that are quite suited to community reef life, fridmani, elongatus, and coccinicauda are well behaved species.

worst small fish ever. had one in my tank. he was ok for a while. then all of a sudden turned terminator on everything.
gave him das boot real quick.

I personally love dottybacks...that being said they are pretty aggressive. If I want one I would plan around d one first and put it with bigger fish such as tangs, angels, and bigger clowns that could put up with it. I found they tend to be more aggressive towards slender small fish

Not all dottybacks are bad. I've had a few, not too much of an issue.

My dotty back is a pain...any fish similar in shape and size he try's to kill!
