So I have a blue tang, and a lavender tang, and a couple wrasse to add to my existing bristletooth, and gem. Would it be better to add both together to reduce aggression, or one at a time letting them sit in an acclimation box for a couple days each before adding? I know people do it both ways.just curious what the general consensus is.
 
Adding both at a time would be the best bet IMO. Similar to clowns, tangs tend to be territorial and aggressive to other tank mates. I always recommend to clients to add all tangs into the tank all at once to avoid this hassle. Happy reefing!
 
I would definitely use an acclimation box and maybe the mirror trick when you release them after a few days.
