hello all.This is what i have so far...what you think?fish:
yellow tang and powder brown tang, flame angel,few domino damsels, percula clown, purple and purple back pseudochromis.
Anemone:
Pink Tip Haitian Anemone

Shrimp:
coral branded shrimp
Urchins
Pencil Urchin
All black urchin
Snails/Crabs
various snails and crabs.
This is in a 75 gallon tank. as of lately the yellow tang is kind of slapping the powder tang with its tail, why? The pseudochromis chase eachother around. The shrimp ust chills under some live rock all day long. Have planty of Filtration. Yet have alot of almost black algea growing on the rocks and substrate. itll grown then come off the rocks or ground?!?

Thank you. I went to the LFS to pick up some fiji gold, and seen him and couldnt pass. he is a very good looking fish.

ok, now the brown is hiding out in the corner, almost as if the yellow tang is being super territorial. should i rearrange the rocks? cage up the yellow for a few days to calm him down? i just dont want the brown to get beat up on, hes getting smacked with the tail of the yellow.... :help:
oh yeah, heres a few pics of that crazy algae

ps, sorry for the gigantic pics.

How old is this tank?
How long have you had the fish?
What are your specific water parameters?
Your tangs are fighting because they are basically establishing a heirarchy. Be warned, this often leads to stress which then results in ick outbreaks. THis is one reason why two tangs in a small tank often don't work.

I agree the yellow tang is not liking the powder tang...somebody has to be the boss
unfortunately this stress on the weaker tang ..may lead to ich etc

tank is about 7 months old. fish were all introduced ( with exception to the new tang) around the same time, maybe a week apart. i have no trouble with anythng else. just the tangs. i was skeptical about even putting him in there, i just hope some peace can be brought to the tank. ich outbreaks? from the stress? anyhting i can get to reduce stress levels?
