	BN and 127 plec together????
_wendy_ Enthusiast Posts: 174 Kudos: 164 Votes: 64 Registered: 18-Mar-2005	went down and looked in the tank this morning. both our BN and plec were together inside a smallish rock. One BN was on top of the plec. Could this be a case of bullying by the BN? We are going to keep an eye on them, and poss consider moving the plec to another tank any thoughts?

Instead, it moved up alongside the L128 and apparently stabbed it with pectoral fins and maybe the spines on its operculum. They do more damage than the sucking disc. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
