Two days ago I added a yellow tang to my tank that already had an established purple tang to replace the yellow tang that perished from a "superglue" accident, which is a whole other story. I figured they would do well together as i replaced him shortly after the demise of the original yellow tang, but I was wrong.
10 seconds upon introduction, the new yellow tang was viciously and unrelentlessly attacked by the purple. It was a massacre but today the new yellow is still holding on.
Is there anything I can do to lessen the aggression? I was advised that I should relocate the purple tang into my sump so that it could lose it's territory and dominance. Would this work or would he continue with his torture once he comes back in?
Btw I know this will be asked but the yellow tang is a little smaller than his cousin.
