Baby Yellow eyed Kole Tang tail being nipped

[pauljefferson6]

My little yellow eyed kole tang is the most social fish in my 95 gallon tank. All the fish, 2 cardinals, 2 Red Sea fire fish, naso tang, black and white male clownfish and orange female clownfish have all been getting along just fine. Afte I fed the fish tonight, I noticed that the female clownfish to be chasing the little kole tang and it looks like the little tang has two chunks out of his tail. He seemed pretty stressed out zipping back and forth across the tank but anytime he got near the clown she would head towards him. I shut off the lights hoping the tang would hide for now, but I don't want him to get so stressed that he dies. Will his fin ever grow back? Should I remove a fish or just watch to see how it goes?? Any advice would be appreciated. Thx

The clown may be chasing it now but once they've established their dominance it will stop. His fins will grow back but with another tang in a 95 gallon chances are the aggression and nipping will continue. I would move this fish.

yeah, 95g is way too small for a naso. he really needs a tank twice that size.

i agree...if you want the kole tang to survive, you'll need to get the naso out of there.
