Aggresive Fish!

by carretero3

I just introduce a 2 inch Flame Angelfish (Dwarf) to my reef tank. He acclimated well and is eating! However, one of my fish, Powder Blue Tang - 4 ½ inch, was cornering , biting, and chasing him (Flame Angel) as soon as he saw him! I immediately remove the Powder Blue from the tank. However, I would like for both spices to be in this tank and by nature are compatible. Does anyone have any ideas if there is any method or technique in order for these two to do well together??? Thank You!

Damned nice reef tank. New fish have the dissadvantage of not having established territories as the other fish have. Maybe things will change if you return the tang and change it's usual territory by moving around a rock or something things will normalise.

I'm not familliar with either of these fish as I'm a fresh water guy. Maybe, if these 2 species are really supposed to get allong, you could get another angle fish. I'd get more thoughts from other people here or elswhere though.
