tang issue

[duc-duc-guzzi]

okay 90 gallon tank
I have a white tail bristle tooth tang that has every fish hidden in the rocks
so far he has killed
yellow assessor
Flame Back Angel (same size)
and put a bad hurt on a wrasse

is there a way to chill him out

Take him out. Your tank is too small for the tang.

I've never seen a problem like this. Have you actually seen the attacks? Here is an article, that has a compatibility chart:

Best bet is to get him out !
If you catch him can I borrow, there are some fish in my tank i would like to have wacked.

yes I have seen the attacks full speed ahead and tags the fish
the assessor lost its tail first then the "death blows"
the angel would get tagged and smushed against the tank wall

white tail kole tangs have a minimum tank size of 75 gallons so nope, no tang police needed

Regardless of minimum tank size, every fish is an individual with it's own personality.
If he won't play nice then you'll have to find him a new home.
