Atlantic blue tang and tomato clown

[bangbangkhan]

I have had the Atlantic tang for a while and I recently decided to add a pair of tomato clowns couple of days ago. For the past two days the tang has been really aggressive towards the clowns. Is that normal for the first week or so?

It is normal for an established tang to assert their dominance over newcomers. I would expect the aggression to subside over the next couple of days. Tomato clowns tend to be pretty resilient, and are also pretty aggressive as far as clowns go, so I wouldn't be too worried.

I wouldn't worry one bit. Tomato clowns are tough as nails,and will hold their own foresure. They're definetly in a class of their own too..
