Yellow tang bullying new naso. Please help!

[saltyscott]

I just got a new naso tang yesterday and he is doing great other than the fact my yellow tang keeps charging him and fanning him with it's tail. The naso is about half the size of the yellow. Will this behavior subside after a while and/or is there anything I can do? I don't want to lose him to the stress of this. Thanks for your help!

How big is your tank?
Can you rearrange any of your live rock to throw the yellow tangs territory off balance?

It's a 125. I'll try rearranging rock. Thanks!

Well, rearranging rock didn't work. Just took the tang to my LFS (where I also work pt). Got a 65 dollar credit for him and picked up a coral beauty and some hermits and turbo snails. Hopefully I'll be back to a peaceful tank.

Things will be more peaceful now. Tangs frequently do not get along, and yellow tangs are pretty aggressive. Someone had to go, so you made the right move.
