I have been watching my tank and seems my yellow eye Kole Tang has some issues with other fish. I just wonder if others have had problems with them and a yellow corris wrasse in same system. I removed the Kole Tang this morning to see if wrasse will come back out. I placed Kole Tang in sump may just have to get rid of him I am sure stress is kicking in now for that guy. I just love my wrasse he does a great job with pest etc.
 
my Kole hates the lawnmower blenny, keeps chasing him but nothing too bad
 
I have a yellow coris and Kole tank in same tang for over a year with no issues. The Kole has been a model citizen. He mostly looks for algae to eat. I have had him for about 6 years.

I added a Naso to one of my reefs and there was a single Kole in it, and he hassled the Naso for a while, then stopped. How long has this been going on? Maybe give it some more time. Seems strange a Kole would hassle a yellow wrasse...they are so dissimilar.
 
Mr Difficult knows the story with my yellow and kole. I have had these two fish in the same tank together for over a year. Then all of the sudden the kole decided to try and kill the wrasse. I still have the wrasse but he stays hid all the time now, and I have tried to catch one or the other with no luck. Every time the wrasse comes out the kole chases him all over, lasts about 2 min., then back in the sand he goes.
 
I have three of them and they are all pretty good community tangs, not shy and not aggressive
 
The only occassional aggression in my tank now is the Tomini Tang and the yellow wrasse.
Must be Paulding County water
 
My Kole and Tomini both dont seem to care for my Diamond Goby and all he does is hang out on the sand
 
I have a naso tang and an achilles tang, was thinking about a kole tang... Now I am a little worried. :)
 
I have two clown, 6 Line, 3 blue/green wrasse and my kole. I have never seen any fish aggressive to any other fish in the tank.
