My maroon keeps attacking and killing new fish. I had a six line that he left alone for weeks until the other day. Dead. So I got another bengaii cardinal so I’d have a nice pair. nope! Killed new one woke up it was in my shrimps pincers. Now keep in mind my og cardinal fish was never being attacked until it killed the new bengaii. HOW DO U STOP THIS SHIIZ.
As others stated- will never cease from this point. They will bite the owners hand, tankmates, move coral around and more.

I was thinking platinum storm or snowflake?
I’d agree with snow storm more than likely. Platinum seems to tend to have some color on the face.

Reference for snow storm

How big is your tank?

Clown fish are very territorial and fiercely defend said territory.

Is this aggressive clown fish alone or part of a pair?
