Newly Added Foxface Rabbit Fish

I have a 65 gallon reef tank with the following fish added in this order. 2 yellow tail damsels, 2 clown fish, 1-Blue Regal Tang, 1- blood fire shrimp, 1 lemon peel, 1 yellow tang. I recently replaced the lemon peel because he nipped at all the corals causing them to never open. I replaced him with the Foxface Rabbit fish. Initially after adding him, the yellow tang really gave him a hard time. Now, the Foxface Rabbit fish usually stays along the side glass in the live rock. He rarely swims out and he looks splotchy a majority of the time. Sometimes he is bright yellow but rarely. Sometimes he is even laying sideways and not really moving. Is this just an acclimation process for him or should I be concerned something is wrong? I have had him since 3/19. All of my parameters are great. I would love some advice as to what is going on with this fish. :fish1:
 
The fish is stressed out, partially because of the yellow tang and also partially because the tank is too small.
 
i just bought a 1 spot foxface and he has been out and about since i added him to the tank. he was swimming with my tangs like he was part of the family. that is until 1 of my tangs died yesterday. mine is only about 1 1/2in and in a 60g tank
