What's with regal tangs and Blue ring angels?

[fishoholic]

It's just odd (to me) that a tang would hate an angel so much. I get an angel fish picking on an angel fish but a tang picking on an angel? I just don't get it.

I found a home for the Blue ring (Regal tang is really hard to catch and a friend of mine who has a large tank and he said he would take the blue ring) unfortunately the blue ring is proving tricky to catch even though he pretty much stays in the front corner of the tank. I'm hoping when he's asleep we'll be able to catch him.

Yes it is best to bite the bullit and do what is necessary to keep peace in the tank.
Stressed fish and critters create havoc and potential major illness in a tank so it is best to deal with the problem rather than ignore it.
Couldn't talk hubby in to a 600gal eh?

I wish he'd let me get a 600+gal tank. My ideal tank would be 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and 2 & 1/2 feet high. Unfortunately due to lack of funds (I'm sure with enough funds I could find space in my living room, I'd just need to get the floors re-enforced) but unfortunately my (semi-realistic) dream tank wont be happening any time soon

I hate it when fish fight, I'm kicking my own a$$ for putting the blue ring in my reef tank. Steve's Dad told me that the blue ring was having trouble getting behind the rocks in his tank and finding space to swim in his 80g so I thought I'd take him back and it would be fine. We didn't put the blue ring in the reef to start off with because we didn't want him eating the corals, but since he left all the corals alone in Steve's Dad's tank I thought everything would be fine. I really didn't think the regal tang would be so mean, after all the regal totally ignored the emperor when I put him in on Sat. Hopefully we'll be able to catch the blue ring and he'll do well in my friends larger tank.
