Zebra angel with yellow tang

[mrmore]

I have a 210 reef with a blue jaw trigger, 2 clowns, 12 line wrasse and a lavender and yellow tang. The question is what are the chances my zebra angel (in qurenteen) will not be harrased by the tangs?

50/50 depending on your particular tangs attitude

I agree. If the tang is added last, your odds improve.

Size also; if the Zebra is larger than the Tang(s), the Tangs will more than likely leave him alone but if vice versa, theres a higher chance of Tang harassement!

I know I blew it, too late now. I have to learn to rely on my own knowlege instead of what the lfs says..."oh yea it should be fine". The other problem is that my quarenteen tank is 100 gallons and was trying to get my core group of fish in before dismantaling it for a 20 gallon. The availability of the zebra was also an issue. I guess my options are; crossing my fingers or if there is problems remove the yt and get another, but that would add another month for my overly large qt system.

I just added the two clowns and the lavender tang and the yt doesent care about the clowns but has been doing a little tail slaping with the lavender. The lavender seem to be able to hold her own and contiues her bussines of picking at algea, the agression also seems to be decreasing over the past two days. No damage has been done to the lt whatsoever so I'm hopeing the stress level is not too bad?

The zebra is slightly larger and seems in very good health and color.
