Get rid of him. That’s way to small of a tank. They need too much room. That’s like you living in a closet.

I've only ever had one so this is anecdotal, not data. I put a ten inch Sohal and a seven inch Purple into a 510 gallon tank that already had a six inch Blue, a five inch Powder Blue, a five inch Yellow, a six inch Clown Trigger, and a twelve inch Sailfin Tang. Most of these had been in the tank for 5 or 6 years and got along okay. The Sohal fit right in, nobody bothered him and he bothered no one. However, the five inch Power Blue killed the seven inch Purple Tang within about 4 days. After that, everyone got along.

This was a long time ago. I would never mix this many large tangs again. Of course, the older fish weren't that big when they went in.
