Any thoughts?

Yes, immediately return the fish to the LFS for a credit and review

Good Luck

if i take out the brown tang, would it help to put him back in the main tank in later time? My tank is 155 gallon. Btw, i put the mirror and my powder brown tang does not attack its image

I would have to agree with Naesco, if you can return the clown tang do it. They are very nice fish, but they are hard to keep and they get very large. Even a 155 is not big enough for it. If you do manage to keep it alive the aggression may diminish as it gets bigger, clown tangs are very aggressive.

As to the "why" question, personally I think the clown tang has a similar shape to the powder brown.

powder brown vs clown tang
.. ..

The clown tang may establish himself enough to fight back once you put the powder brown back in, maybe. Assuming the clown tang hasn't already kicked the bucket. Funny, I see LFS bring in clown tangs ALL the time and they are beautiful fish, but I have never seen a clown tang in any hobbyists tank.. poor little guys, they really do belong in the sea probably.

Ok, they seems peaceful now. Crossing my finger. I think my powder tang just want to show who is the boss in the tank. He chased my six line wrasse as well when first introduce

But time will tell, I will leave them for another day and see how they do. My regal tang used to be the boss in the tank.

Yeah, most of the time they won't eat. That is what Denis at gold told me, he got 4 and 3 of them did not eat and they died, this one takes pellets well that is why i take him home. It is freaking hard try to catch him now, unless i have to remove my 200 lbs of rocks and corals. Just hope for miracle happens.

Well, everytime my powder tang was chasing my clown tang, i tap the glass in the hope that he understands (i know they are fish not dog but hey worth a try). After keep doing that, now they seems fine now. Some screenshot as they get close to each other

Returning the fish to LFS would be the last resource, It is fun to try out all other options. Part of learning anyway :-)

Thank you for all useful opinions and knowledge.

Cheers
