I have powder blue, naso and yellow tang and wanted to introduce a yelow mimic, which is the best way

Tank size? Size of fish (current and new)? And how long have the fish all lived together?

This will help me tailor my advice

Tanks,i have 240 g and fish medium size,all the fish are together at 6 months,and now i want to add a mimic tang

IMO, biggest concern will be the yellow tang. I cant put anything yellow in my tank without it being bullied to death.

I’m most worried about the powder blue. I’d add multiple tangs at once or use a social acclimation box. The PBT can kill in short order and will not let up once it fixates. They’re known for that.

At least zebrasoma like yellow tangs eventually let up if the fish survives initially.

How long do I have to leave in an aclimation box?
