Hi Jason

If all of the suggestions given so far fail. Just hit him with a big stick. While he recouperates the other will have adjusted.

Ha Ha

What fish would you like to add to your tank?
What kind of fish did you attempt to add?

I have a yellow tang in my 230g that is a real jerk and has killed one bannerfish that I tried to add. I did try the "Anthony egg crate method" but he just waited it out and attacked as soon as the fish was accessible. If you can catch the jerk (which I was not sure I could) you could try to relegate him to the sump while the new fish stakes out his territory and then add him back after a couple of weeks and then he would be the "newbie"

The best way is take the bully out of the tank for a week keeping him in a small tank or tote.When you put him back he should be quite mellow.I do this in my 255 fish only.I t works every time.
