Coral banded problem


My coral banded shrimp has been attacking my blue hippo tang. When ever my blue hippo goes near the corals my coral banded starts picking at my blue hippo, he doesn't stop picking at him till he swims away.What should i do?

They are fish predators. Take him back to the store that sold you an inappropriate creature.

I agree. This is a well known problem, they take fish.
