Help with my Powder Blue tang

Justfbilly · Feb 14, 2020

I have had a powder blue tang in my DT for about 2 months now and it’s been doing great. On Wednesday I noticed it did not eat and was hiding in the rocks. For the last 2 days he has been out in the front of the tank swimming in he same spot and will not eat. I have noticed the the yellow tang I put in at the same time will randomly swim by he powder blue and push up against it. There are no marks on he powder blue and he is not breathing heavy. Do I need to worry Or do I need to pull the powder blue out before things take a turn for the worse?

How large is the tank? Have you observed the yellow chasing the powder? My guess is that the yellow doesn't want to share the tank and it may be time to pull out the Yellow for a while

It’s 120 gallon tank. I agree I think I am going to put my trap in the tank and see if I can catch the yellow tang and put him in the QT for a few weeks.
