I would suggest that you turn the lights off even it if is not that time yet. Whenever possible, I try to release new fish into the display tank after the lights go off.

BTW, I've got one in my tank too.

Powder Blue's and Yellow Tangs become very aggressive to new fish (especially when the new fish is bigger) in establshed tanks (tanks that they have been in for a very long time).

I will try shut the lights out...the powder blue has mellowed a bit. It actually let the Angel out for half an hour...I am surprised that this angel isnt shy at all to humans...

My powder blue is the biggest bully in the tank. The good thing though is that my Majestic is twice its size so the PBT never tried to bully it.

Hi Mike

Sounds great, you know how I like Majestics.

I find that if the established fish does'nt just out right take the head off the new fish then things just cool down within a few days. My yellow tang did the same thing with my Majestic. Now they are the best of friends. I actually feel that they have established an inter species relationship and there is nothing wrong with that or so I have been told.
