Hi All,
I have a 275G tank and have a black tang in it. I just added a purple tang (yes I know same body shape) and the black tang is beating up the purple tang pretty bad. I originally had the purple tang in an acclimation box and the black tang just ignored it, but as soon as I let him out, the purple tang became public enemy number 1 in the eyes of the black tang.
I just caught the black tang and he is currently in an acclimation box.
my question, would it be best to leave the black tang in the acclimation box for a week or put I’m in my empty refugium in the sump which is about 20 gallons for a week or so? I’m hoping if I introduce him last he will stop being the aggressor.
thanks for all the help.
