Powder Brown attacking Regal Tang

[octoberfest]

I've got a Powder Brown that was recently introduced into my tank and he will not leave my regal tang alone.

Situation: The tank is a 190 gallon (66"X33"X20") and has a large Desjardin's Sailfin Tang, Regal Tang, Powder Brown Tang, pair of clowns, and 2 chromis. Mixed reef with softies, lps, and sps. Everything gets fed every day and they're all very fat.

The Powder Brown was introduced last in my tank. It came from a tank where he was the one timid fish in the group and it was a reliable source. Since the day he was put in this tank he has been chasing my regal tang. there is a nip or two from the Regal's tail but he has no marks on his side so I think he's staying clear. I have seen the Powder Brown mess with the sailfin but she's three times his size and set the record straight quick.

So if this has been going on for 3 weeks+ is there any hope for them?

Try and give them for time. My two tanga fought for almost 2 months before they semi got slog. They still swing their tails at each other from time to time but nothing serious.
