Tang attacking bi color angel

[Aleiva16]

Hello all, I just got a bi-color angel and when I introduced him into my tank my kole tang began to attack him. I was able to catch the angel and isolate him in a mesh box. What do I do now? How can I get him in the tank so that the tang can adjust to him?

One more thing I tryed, I tryed putting the seaweed clip close to the mesh where the angel is so that tang can see him but the tang will no go toward the top of the water to graze the seaweed clip.

Any help please and thank you

Use an acclimation box.

once the bicolor settles he'll learn to hold his own. Try some minor rescaping before releasing him though. My bicolor was eventually left alone by a aggressive tang. but anything that entered the tank after, it was the bicolor not the tang that would harass it and way more than the tang ever harassed him, so I had to remove the angel eventually. It was way too much!

Put a mirror up against the glass for a couple days. The tang will be busy trying to fight that "other" tang and won't bother the angel. That'll give the angel a chance to settle in and it won't be the new fish anymore when you take the mirror away.

I just did that a week ago when I added a 1.5" kleini butterfly to my tank that has 4 tangs that range in size from 4"-6"
