Ok so the saga continues unfortunately
The first day or two after I returned it to the display tank all normal and then it started doing the same thing again. I was going out of town for10days and didn't want to leave it like that. So moved it to another established SW tank without corals but with a pair of clowns and bangais. It was a little skittish but was starting to be brave and exploring the tank andeating.
When I came back, it was eating fine and really moving around in the tank. I decided ok now that I'm home, we will introduce the tang back to the main display. I moved around the rockscape to maybe rearrange if there was any territorial issues. Though I have never seen any. Everything going well for 24hrs. eating exploring, etc and then same thing. Except not breathing as fast this time. Still shaking its head once in a while. No scratching or flickering. All other fish behaving normal.
What gives?
What is in the display tank that is making it do this esp the head shaking part? I tried setting up a camera to see if any fish was bullying it but none seen. They are all pretty docile.
I ran carbon in the water with no change.
Thanks for all your help!
