To get my old fish used to any newcomers, I usually put the new fish into an isolation chamber (8"x8"x12"deep) for 3-7 days, depending on species. Using this technique, I have been able to get 3 yellow tangs to live together in relative harmony. It gives all the fish a chance to get used to each other (scent & sight) without being able to attack or hurt each other. Just my $.02 worth.
I zap strap the rectangular eggcrate sides to a square bottom & it may look ugly in my tank but it makes the transition easier on the fish, so I live with this ugly box for a few days.
