Good Luck
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.
