LAST guess :mad:
From what I can see, and read, you currently have the dottyback, coral goby and mandarin in this tank - you have said that the dottyback is not the aggressor and I can't imagine that it would be the mandarine or goby. Not sure about the bicolour blenny?? You referred to the thing in the box as a 'she' so I assume that it is not a coral or something similar.
What am I doing trying to figure out the mind of a female :confused:
I also tried enlarging the photo but the resolution in not good enough to see what is in the box.
Last try - you bought a clam and the bi-colour is nipping it ??

LOL- you do get top marks for your logic in trying to work it out.:p
Long story short- it's a little girl-.........green mandarin-but the target male mandarin has assaulted her twice. So at present she's separated. I'm also still trying to teach her to eat frozen food and it's been a bit of a longer process with her.
Will have to see what happens in the long run.
Got tired of the powerhead wrapped with the net as although it was excellent at protecting my nems, the net always clogged through the week and resulted in reduced flow so i had to keep cleaning it. Have been thinking of other ways to do this but I wanted something that was easily removable for maintenance and something that would not impede flow.
Last night when sleeping( often think of solutions when sleeping) suddenly thought-breeder box. So this is what I did today.Is a bit ghetto but it serves the purpose
Hole for the powerhead marked out
Cut out using heated knife -- use my gas burner on the stove
more holes made on sides with my trusty skewer
In tank
Is held in place with magnets so that I can remove it
Of course murphy's law- had to mount it on the weir side as I couldn't angle it the way I had it before so this necessitated a reaquascape which I actually like better. Can't really see from the pic but it is actually very open with lots of flow and cave formations. of course I now have to hope that the nems will stay where they are ( especially the bleached one as she was the one i had to move-I always call her " she")
The flow was too strong in cetain areas for some of the corals so they had to be moved as well-etc etc - I think you've all been there before. Are still sulking a bit but I'll have to wait to see if any more rearranging needs to be done when they open up again.
Not the best pic (especially the reflection of me in my pj's )but you get the general drift
