Damn, what fish did that damage?

 

[ericrodriguez]

Could be the neon dottyback and flame angel.
This guy it’s been a bully since day one I was not expecting to see this...

Mixing pseudochromis is a very bad idea. That fish has zero chance with the neon dottback. Surprised it's still alive.

Even if you put it in an aclimation box and heal it, once its back together, it will get bullied again sadly.

 

[ericrodriguez]

I thought the first one owns the place... and he was chasing the neon a few day ago.. I’m still surprised

Neone dottybacks are real aggressive. Even mated pairs can be tough to keep together. Different species are next to impossible. Time to rehome one of them

 

[ericrodriguez]

I will do so,
Don’t want to see it this way...

My sons' neon dotty killed his new yellow coris wrasse the same day it went in. It was relentless. We were both happy when the dotty died. Not sure what the fish in your op is, but if it's considered peaceful and reef safe my son might be interested if that's what you decide to rehome. No way on the dotty.

This tank it’s too tense for a blenny not long ago it that I realized why I was loosing healthy new fishes .. they would come in get into any corner and not move after that. Then just gone

Yea. If a fish is always hanging in a corner looking stressed, high chance that it's getting bullied. It won't grow a sack overtime. It's best to just remove it and rehome.

 

[ericrodriguez]

This one it’s leaving in the other side of the tank now far from the neon dottyback
And I can get to see him now .
Before there were some days I had to look for him to make sure it was still alive..

What size tank is it, it's mostly on what is claimed as its territory and how often you feed.

It’s a 45
I feed 2 times usually and 3 if I’m home all day..
I know I know feet heavy..

 

[Goodair]

Heavy feeding should help with aggression, as long as your filtration can keep up. Some fish are just ass holes though, lol!

 

[ericrodriguez]

Since the neon dottyback took he’s space has not bully him as I can see...
I’m happy he’s doing so much better thanks God...
I really thought I was going to lots him that it’s why I didn’t try to catch it up to not stress him out too much
