We added a Coral Beauty Angelfish that has been in QT for a couple of weeks to our main display last night. It would appear that our yellow tang does not like the coral beauty. There has been a lot of cat and mouse type chasing, and the tang is backing into the coral beauty trying to cut at her.
It seems that things have calmed down a bit by this evening, but there is some serious staring coming from the tang, and he continues to chase the coral beauty a lot.
The coral brauty has a few cuts in her top and tail fins. I am concerned that this is going to keep up until the tang does some irreperable damage to the coral beauty.
Has anyone had problems like this. Do they usually settle down, or should I take measures to seperate the two fish. I don't think I can get either of the fish out of the tank easily.
The tang was our third fish (after two clown fish) and is well established in the tank.
Thanks,
Brian
