What is this guy? Why is he so dam angry
I've had him for a while but he's getting aggressive to the other smaller guys. Including the baangai!

Looks like Cirrhitichthys oxycephalus ... usually called a pixie, spotted or coral hawkfish.

Thanks tony. Great info. He is one of the funniest characters. Stalks the prey by hanging upside down then attacks
