Powder brown tang beating up wrasse. Help.

[Lowefx]

Looking for suggestions. Powder brown is still small. I also have a yellow goby and a Blonde naso tang in my 120. Should I isolate the brown for a day or two or will it continue to nip at the lepord wrasse. Looking for advise please.

I had a tang that started attacking leopards, and it never stopped, even when removed and reintroduced.

Attacking differntly shaped fish is not normal for most tangs, but when you get one that does, the aggression seldom gets better.

I suggest removing the troublemaker and try again with a different specimen.

Dang, I'd rather not get rid of it....I will see how things go in the next week, then make a decision.

Do you have a social acclimation box or tank divider you can use to keep them separated but visible to each other? That way you can keep both fish safe while waiting to see if they adjust.

I dont. And I've only seen my wrasse once in 3 days. He camps in the sand. But I think I can catch the brown tang, then I'll throw him in a box
