Powder Blue Tang and Melanurus Wrasse - Need help

[reefan4ever]

I have a 125g stocked with an ocellaris clown and PBT. All was fine until about 10 days ago when I attempted to add a M. wrasse. The wrasse was fine but the PBT was really mad and attacked him immediately and wouldn't leave him alone. I was concerned for the wrasse and eventually removed the PBT and placed him in QT. The DT is peaceful and the wrasse is loving it. I know my initial mistake was not adding the PBT last, but my question is will reintroducing the PBT create the same issue?

Keeping him out of the display for a while should help. Also might want to rearrange the rock work while he's out to make it new to him

He should chill out, basically it's like you are adding him last if you leave him in QT for at least a week. You got lucky I once had an Achilles Tang get so bonkers over the addition of a Scott's fairy wrasse that sometime after lights out he toppled my rocks and pinned himself. I woke up to a cloudy tank and my prized Achilles dead under a rock.
