So, I think the Sens going to have to go.... He is still terrorizing his tank mates which I thought had stopped but I noticed him almost chomp on the teug which if he would have gotten a hold of her probably would have killed her. And now today I notice the one of the endlis is almost completely missing it's right fin. None of the other polys have shown any aggression toward each other. And everyone seems to be scared of him..

I think I'm going to give it until Tuesday...

I just don't know what else to do. I like him but teugs hard to find and she's really grown on me with the quirky things she does. And I don't want the endlis stressed anymore than what they probably already are...

Sen are really not known to be aggressive, the problem i see is how the tank is setup, 4 polys two old and two new with alot of hiding spot, try to take out the rocks, and leave the side open and just leave the wood in the middle, or leave the middle open and just have both side with minimum decor or hidin spot, then monitor them.

I know it's the sen though... I've seen him attack several times (the teug) ... I may try less hides though and see what happens... He doesn't necessarily seek the teug out but when they come in contact I can almost guarantee he'll try to nip at her..

But I'm not sure what happend to the endli...

Sorry man i just saw this. Not disagreeing with the advice given. I dont have patience for aggression anymore, if the ornate was causing damage to all other polys id have to remove him. Only reason why i wouldnt rehome him is because ive had him for soo long. His issue is with smaller guys so somewhat of an easier fix.

Ive tried removing decor in the past and it never worked. I got so frustrated with a wc endli dabola that i just gave it away for basicay nothing. If it ripped up the new endli id be pissed too.

Man the list of fish i had to rehome or give away due to aggression is as long as the list of fish thst worked out smh

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I don't really have the patience for aggression. I can handle a little bit here and there as long as everyone is happy in the long run but the teug is up in a corner or on the other side of the tank 75% of the time and acts terrified of the sen. Because every time the sen sees the teug it's in attack mode.

Like I said I haven't witnessed any aggression towards the endlis. but I haven't seen the Sen go near them except twice and it was the one that didn't have the missing fin. oddly enough the sen didn't attack it.

The teug is so docile the endli and the teug were laying on one of those scrubby magnets together in the top corner with no problem...

I'm still going to try a couple of things before I give up but like I said earlier, I'll give him until Tuesday barring any significant aggression or if I believe he's not going to let up. but all in all I have more invested in the other guys and they're more appealing to me. I have to choose the safety of 3 polys (expensive ones at that) over 1 who just being a jerk...
