Naso tang agression

[Gundy]

Yesterday afternoon added a Naso tang to my 380 gallon reef tank. I have a blond Naso that I have had for several months but even though the new Naso is substantially larger, he is being severely harassed by the blond. After a few hours of constant harassment, I turned off the lights for the night.

This morning I placed a large mirror on the glass which has kept him busy but he still finds the new Naso and keeps him in hiding. Any advice? Thanks

This is the result of two of the same type fish in a confined space. Rule of thumb is Odd numbers. . . 1-3-5 and so forth and I dont recommend 2 nasos, 2 sohals and 2 powder blues as they are like siamese fighting fish

Any chance they will work things out? Can I remove the blond Naso and reintroduce him?

Best chance. . . . using egg crate- create a divider in which they can look at each other without inflicting injury and see how it works after 10-14 days
