Its also depends on who was in the tank first. The first one introduced into the tank will usually be the most aggressive, after you take out the 1st, then comes the 2nd and so on.

lol my friend just pulled a damsel outta his tank because when he added new crabs and a conch the little puke wouldn't even let them outta their shells... Hope that little perc finds himself a Rocky complex and makes a stand for the little guys!
