Gymnothorax Polyuranodon Aggression

[tongolino10]

I have two tiger morays, around 1ft each. The smaller of which attacks the larger one at random times and it seems to be unrelated to feeding aggression. I do not observe any wounds on the larger moray but it does seem distressed and tries its best to avoid the smaller one.

Is there any way I can combat this aggressive behaviour? How common are such displays of aggression among tiger morays?

Do you have hides for them if not add a couple of pvc pipes . Place one on opposite sides of the aquarium. If that doesn't help you'll have to rehome one of the moray.

Yes I do have hides for them. Right now I'm putting a partition between them because the bigger one seems to like to share hides with the smaller one despite there being two separate hides

Hopefully someone chimes in with a solution. I personally have had moray eel's but they were solo.

Ive only ever had them solo I cannot imagine them being aggressive .

I'd try the extra hide holes and feed at opposite ends perhaps
