At feeding time he spends more time chasing other fish than he does eating.
Anybody else have a similar problem with this fish? If I banish him to the QT for awhile will he settle down? Suggestions?
You know, I am finding that Tusks are quite easy to push around despite the appearance. Mine gets chased by a few of my tangs (especially the Hippo) but never chases back. He did kill a damsel and does seem to chase the little guys around but not anyone around the same size as him.

When it comes to feeding though, different story. He then becomes king of the tank. Takes food from any other fish he feels like, even the Hippo tang. He is a greediest fish I have ever owned...and I have owned a lot of greedy puffers!
