The dotty back in the picture. What kind is it? I'm debating on removing it because it's still getting bigger and bullying my other fish. It eats algae sheets like a pig that hasn't been fed in weeks

Labracinus cyclophthalmus - red dottyback. Labracinus species are the largest dottybacks, growing to around 8 inches or so. Beautiful fish, but they do have a bit of a reputation for being aggressive.

Thanks it has pretty much picked the wrong battle with my trigger and now he's keeping his mouth to himself for the time being. He did eat all of my shrimp though
