Semi-Aggressive and Aggressive?

[akcnmom65]

Question, when it states that the fish or coral is semi-aggressive or aggressive what does that really mean? I'm asking because I see that statement on a lot of beginner's fish and corals. I'm pulling my hair out trying to learn everything. I will thank you for your help in advice.

depends on the fish, honestly every individual fish has a different personality, i have a purple tang that wouldnt hurt a fly and a scopas tang thats in the sump because he wants to kill everything

Ok, I see it depends on the personality. Thanks.

my take on this is semi-aggressive = may attack other coral/fish. aggressive = will attack other coral/fish.
