Clown tangs tend to be quite aggressive. I would try what you are planning (ie. move the rockwork & then reintroduce). In the past, with tangs, what worked for me was to keep the new tang in a plexi isolation chamber until the other fish get used to it. Then when I release the new fish, the others seem almost to ignore it.

I like this idea. I have done this with eggcrate before to divide the tank and allow the fish to get used to each other.

Works very well.
