yeah, take him out. keeping Africans with SA/CA cichlids is a no-no

no worries, he won't be anywhere near as aggressive once he's killed off the other ones.

Defo get him out if poss swap him for somethin American at lfs , if all the Americans survive and out grow him he'll be in trouble anyway

If its left to its own, you will have a bunch of dead, stressed, injured or all of the above. You could crowd the tank with a ton of Africans, but you won't be able to keep the other SA/CA. Species only or over crowding...
BTW, that mbuna will get more aggressive as it gets older...

As this question is specifically about the behavior characteristics of an African cichlid, I'm moving this to Africans.

I got rid of him

Best option realy you'd just go through treatment like fun until the fh got big and ripped it to bits , good luck with your other cichlids watch out for that flowerhorn they can be evil once they hit 6"
