Will my friends blue tang die?

[Mil26]

Ok well my friend just recently started a new saltwater tank 120g (75g started leaking) but has a blue tang and wants me to hold for about a month or so the problem is that my tank is 20g and has to paired clownfish lets say he gives me the tang for me to hold (no tang police plz) will my clowns stress him out ? In other words nip at him attack him ect.. And eventually kill him.. Idk if my clowns are territorial since they always seem to have frys.. PS he has it in a 5g atm....... It's still a baby my tank has been up for about 6 1/2 months last thing I added was a cleaner shrimp about 4 months ago

If the tang is small,and your fish and the tang are pest free, you should be OK. If ether your fish or the tang has Ick, you could fase a wipe out. And stress dose not cause Ick.

No ick perfectly healthy just the main concern is my clownfish harassing it to death :/

I would put the tang in its own tank with water from an astablished/cycled tank. If this can't be done then try to give the tang some objects to hide in to reduce its stress. You friend should have saved some of the 75g water and setup a smaller tank for the tang while waiting for the 120g to cycle its water.
