I have a lemonpeel and thought I would try add a coral beauty. I should have known better. Last time I tried adding tangs the lemonpeel killed them both.
I managed to catch the coral beauty and put in sump for now. I have since placed a large mirror on the side of the tank.
I was trying to catch the LP but it knows all the hiding spots.
Do I try again after a few days with the mirror or rehome the CB?
I guess my tanks full

Try an acclimation box and monitor aggression, release from acclimation box to tank after lights out

I tried every trick in the book when I attempted to add a CB with an established Lemonpeel. It unfortunately did not end well for the CB. I personally would not attempt a pair of Angels again unless I could introduce both of them at the same time.

I was trying to catch it to sump it for a while and let the CB settle in then add LP back later. But I can't catch the LP

Ya may not be room enough for both of them in a 4' long tank. Hard adding similar body style fish especially when one of them is established.
