I've tried the two nori clips and the yellow tang tries to protect both of them even though they are at separate ends of the tank. I always feed in the morning with actinics on and then again in the evening with all the lights on. I just reaquascaped too. The Powder Blue is quite a bit larger than the yellow tang which intimidated the yellow for the first couple days but not so much now. The PB has only been in the tank for just under a week so it still might be a little early to worry at this point but I want to make sure I do everything possible to ensure his survival. I might set up a QT tank for a couple weeks so direct feeding is easier. Thanks for the suggestions. Anyone else?

I have a Yellow Tang in my 230g that is a real SOB as far as agression goes - it's actually by SOB tank because I also have a dottyback that acts ignorant as well.
When I have tried to introduce fish in the past what I have had to do is to build a box or cage out of egg crate (roughly 20" X 20" X 15") and put the new fish in there for a week or more until until the YT got used to it. It worked to get my Hippo Tang in there but did not work with my Moorish Idol. Fortunately I had another large tank for the MI. Ideally you would want to catch the resident fish and put it in the cage but in my case it was impossible so I ended up putting the new fish in there and feeding it separately. Like I say the YT eventually ignored the Hippo that it wanted to kill but never did take to the MI. Anyway just a suggestion until your PBT makes itself King.

Use dry flake food or nori as it will absorb more garlic than frozen or moist food.
Add the flake to a jar lid and squish some garlic and place the squished liquid in the lid. After 20 minutes the flake will soak up the liquid and add to the flow in your tank If there is aggression feed from both ends of your tank.
