I have a 75 gallon reef with nothing but a cleanup crew and a medium yellow tang in it. Today I bought a Copper banded buttlerfly fish to join the tank. My LFS told me that since the body shapes of the tang and the butterfly are similar I should make sure that the tang is overfed with seaweed and algae so that the new inhabitant can adjust to the tank and establish territory while the tang is preoccupied. I did everything they told me to, but apparently the fish have been fighting because the butterfly has a wound in it's side, and they seem to not care for each other too much! What do you guys recommend at this point? I understand that the wound is pretty serious, but what can I do to keep it from being fatal?
