Foxface attacking tang?

[floridabromo]

Today I brought home a yellow tang and my magnificent fox face is chasing it around the tank and biting it. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

I did. Mine was a magnificent fox also. Chasing my blonde naso. But the blonde starting chasing him back. After about a month they were fine. But they didn't seem to be trying to kill each other more like just trying to be a bully. So I let them work it out. If yours is really bad may want to get an acclimation box for the tang for a bit.

It just appears to be chasing it every now and then but is bitting at the tang so I think I'll just give them some time and see what happens.. if it gets worse then I might have to

You can try taping a mirror to the side of the tank to distract the fish, if things do not settle down.
