Well, sadly I had to put the tang back in the sump this morning. Found him tail slapping the foxface in the corner and would not let him out of the corner.

I was pretty hopeful after yesterday.

I will rehome him as quickly as possible.

Thanks to everyone following along and those who shared their experiences.

It seems to be difficult to keep Yellow Tangs with Tank Mates beyond a certain point. Mine was about 40% grown when I got it and he lasted a month before turning into a complete jerk. Zebrasoma do tend to be more aggressive though.
