Purple Tang and his/her Tang potential companion

[on the spot]

I will see if I can catch him and sump him for a few days while the new guy (whenever I decide to get it) comes along. Now the question is, how do I catch him.....open to best practices.

my preference is a specimen container. Some cheap/thin acrylic. I've had decent results using a stepped bit from Harbor Freight drilling holes for circulation. PVC parts for hiding. I also like to scuff the bottom for a more opaque look - personal preference on that. The new additions camp out here for a few weeks. Everyone "gets accustomed" without the thrashings.

For what its worth, I added my purple tang last and he still went after my fox face. I was concerned at first but it actually was beneficial and amusing.

Beneficial because the fox face was a skittish fish before the attacks and now swims freely in the open.

Amusing because the fox face didn't get phased by the tail slaps, he'd just turn his body and throw up the spines like "come at me bro". The two would just swim along together like nothing happened 30 seconds after each tiff.
