Tail slapping tang

[dmh41532]

So today I thought I would change the lighting period to the evening when I'm home to enjoy the fish, well that worked till the sun set. My yellow tang can apparently now see its reflection...thinking there is another tang in the tank it's gone slap happy. Back to the old light cycle I guess.

No, don't go back, he will get used to it, no worries, I've got Tangs that still do it, they don't hurt themselves. Whats the point in having the tank if you can't enjoy it when your home?

oh okay. I turned the halide off and just ran the blues and it calmed down almost instantly. I'll keep running this cycle and give it time to adjust

It'll be fine
