Yellow tang aggression

[ndewys]

Yesterday I added a fox face rabbit fish to my tank after quarantining it of course, and there’s been a fair amount of aggression coming from my yellow tang towards its new tank mate. Should I be concerned. It seems when ever I go closer to the tank the yellow tang gets more aggressive.

It is very important they have hiding places. You can try turning the lights off for a day or 2. Keep them well feed and time will tell.

What size is the tank?
Yellows are usually terrors with aggression, I personally wouldn’t add anything else now that yours is established. If they have hiding (and blind) spots it will reduce aggression

I've noticed the key to keeping tang aggression down is feeding plenty of nori, dried seaweed.

Another method is placing these up against the glass to give the yellow tang something else to focus its attention to
