It took out a parrot fish and a clown triggerfish and pretty much stressed out everyone else in my tank. I think he just snapped one day because he was perfectly fine (a "model citizen") for a while. Then he just decided out of the blue that he didn't like certain tank mates anymore.

One of my biggest fears with my clown tang, and your story is one I have heard a few times before.
