I would think an experienced reefer as you are that you would use an isolation box for a week or two in the display tank prior to releasing the tang in the tank.

think I should try it? I've seen them both work and not work

@@TreasureCorals I had the same problem with my extra large sohal and my new large clown tang! After keeping the clown tang in an acclamation box for 3 weeks he was able to hold his own when I released him with all my other extremely large fish. You should try an acclimation box they do work the longer you keep the fish in the box!

Acclimation box for a week, then release and add a full body mirror for a few days. Worked for me every time.

@@TreasureCorals I've used the ones that you normally lean against the wall or hang on a door. So like a 4 or 5 foot tall and 1 foot wide mirror. My stand has a lip on the stand which helped put the mirror on sideways and cover a lot of area vs hoping the fish will find the mirror and fight with it's own reflection. It literally kept all fish busy while they also adapted to the new guy when they were more focused on the fish that fought back (their reflection). Since the mirror is 5 ft long, it covered more than half of the tank. That guaranteed they seeing themselves and it following itself back and forth which allowed for it to focus on itself. In my case, my yellow kole tang. He is a bully with even blennys!

many have mentioned iso box, i also recommend a small mirror. he will be busy with himself get hungry and worry about food. They are kind of over hyped in the aggression department. I have had mine for about 4 years, its about a foot and it has become peaceful. I do not deny food, there is ALWAYS algae on a clip, always!

I would take out the sohal tang put him in Qt tank for 2 weeks and then add him back but in an acclimation box and leave him in for a week min, you could do that with either fish but definately use acclimation box for tangs, especially nastier ones like clown sohal and powders, the reason for taking sohol out is that he is boss, taking him out would tone him down a bit and maybe change your scape a bit move a few corals around so tank not so familiar when he goes back in. these two fish can exist in the same system and this is the only way to achieve this. Or even better remove both fish place in qt with glass partition between so can view each other over and add at same time into display. Keep them together in qt in full view of each other for as long as possible for best results.

Have you tried an acclimation box? Worked for my sailfin and purple.

What i would of done is removed all the fish or all the tangs from and add them to a holding tank for 5 days and change the aquascape in the display and then re add the fish into the display and your good to go always works for me

Acanthurus lineatus and Acanthurus sohal it's not a good combination. I prefer Acanthurus lineatus.
