Default Fish don't like change!

My fish really don't like change in their designated territory.

Everytime I move a coral or rock into "Clownfish Corner" - the maroons will spend hours trying to dislodge or move it. --- which they usually do.


Same in opposite corner (Damsel territory)...all four damsels will go to work on new rock/coral trying to move it out.

Only way I can move something new in, is to make sure it is really wedged/secured in between existing rock.

Can move anything I like around in middle of tank, and no one seems to care...(except Coris, will immediately try to turn over looking for something good to eat)

I just am not in control of tank anymore.

My angel's like that, all over the tank. anything that goes in, he's on it immediately, til he figures it out or gets bored. he's truly fearless. I'd say the clown runs the tank, but even the clown don't mess w/ the angel.
