    Wow, I'd never heard of YWGs beings so aggressive! Yikes! Sorry for all those losses :(

    Wow! My YWG only pulls in random snails into his burrow. My Blue Flasher Wrasse and him get into it randomly but no injuries though.

    Well... I recently had my baby YWG get murdered by this pink emerald crab I had in the tank, (needless to say the crab is history now) and I was very sad to see him go... seeing these posts, now not so much!

    its really weird because he doesnt bother my other fish, he might just scare them if they get too close! but the new fish he just attacks them :*(

    the fish that you mentioned are in the goby family. try a fish that is not in the goby species list. seems to me the ywg is killing off the ones that are competing for the same thing he is...

    I agree with ReefBruh,

    Your tank is quite small and this will create teritorial behavior as the WG doesn't feel like he has enough space in his bubble. I have one about that size toobut he and Mr. annoying pistol shrimp live in a 90 gal. Most of the other few fish in the tank are not bottom dwellers either, tangs, and although he leaves his cave to feed he will also push the others away if they get too close. He wants the tank and eat it too!
