Ok, they seems peaceful now. Crossing my finger. I think my powder tang just want to show who is the boss in the tank. He chased my six line wrasse as well when first introduce

But time will tell, I will leave them for another day and see how they do. My regal tang used to be the boss in the tank.

Yeah, most of the time they won't eat. That is what Denis at gold told me, he got 4 and 3 of them did not eat and they died, this one takes pellets well that is why i take him home. It is freaking hard try to catch him now, unless i have to remove my 200 lbs of rocks and corals. Just hope for miracle happens.

Well, everytime my powder tang was chasing my clown tang, i tap the glass in the hope that he understands (i know they are fish not dog but hey worth a try). After keep doing that, now they seems fine now. Some screenshot as they get close to each other

Returning the fish to LFS would be the last resource, It is fun to try out all other options. Part of learning anyway :-)

Thank you for all useful opinions and knowledge.

Cheers

Why Jason?

!. He has problems right now.
2. There is a very high likelyhood that the clown will die because they success rate is poor.
3. If it does survive, the clown, which is one of the most vicious tangs, will become dominant and will attack any new tangs the reefers puts in the tank.
4. I directed him to the best website that sets out which tangs are good and which are bad.

Either those are small tangs or that's one huge damsel Hope everything works out for the best... I have also heard that clown tangs are vicious, and should be the last tang put in the tank.
