Firefish (Fire Gobys)

So it appears my Blue Tang doesn't like the Purple Firefish. It chases them into their bolthole everytime it sees them. I'm having to try and feed them individually because the Tang is a greedy pig also.

Started noticing only 1 of them was coming out, with the other one hiding in the rocks. Starting to get concerned for the little guy so I went out and bought some more liverock to try and create a wall between where they come out and where the Blue Tang hangs out so it cant see them, to try and stop the chasing/bullying.

Any other ideas how I can improove the Blue Tangs behaviour? Strangely enough he gets on fine wiht my Red Firefish. Do I need to catch the little Sh*t and put him in a seperate tank for a week, then reintroduce him so he doesn't assume he owns the tank?

Oh and the threat of "Don't make me come in there" doesn't appear to work.

Conch, i've also tried the swearing technique but to no avail. That technique also didn't work when I was adding the new liverock and the clowns were biting me

I think you will find it hard to change the Blue Tangs behaviour. You could put a clip of Nori in the tank and see if the added food calms the tang down. But ultimately your FF will die from stress/starvation. Our FF did the same thing after being harassed by a flame angel.
