I just spent a good amount of money on my new harlequin tusk fish (Australian), got him homw, acclimated him, and as soon as I put him in there, My yellow tang that I have had for about 2 years is trying to attack him with his little razor. Chasing him around, backing into him trying to hit him. The Harlequin is about 5" and the Tang about 4 1/2". I changed up the liverock, and put the tang into a breading net for the night, but when I let him out the next day, he was back to the same thing. Should I leave them together, and see if he will leave him alone, or get rid of the tang. I have had the tang a while 2 years, and would hate to get rid of him. Any suggestions? The tank is 125 gal. right now he just hides in the liverock.

Change the decorations around. Or catch the tang put him a bag then change the decorations. NO territory for him. This will work. Do it all the time.
