One thing I've read about a number of places is that rearranging some of the rockwork when adding new fish helps decrease aggression because you essentially give the established fish a new territory to scout out rather dumping a new fish in when the old fish has an territory to defend.

Rob, the above request is exactly what Ross & I did when we got our Sohal. The purple was just tearing him up. And everything after our arrangement went just fine...

Gary knows this trick first hand. When I purchased a Tang from him, his apartment was pitch black, he kept mumbling something like "The light,the light, turn off your phone, he can see the light, the light " I was puzzled at first, especially when Gary slithered across his floor towards the tank, he told me it was so the Tang wouldn't see him. I'm still not sold on that part though, I really think he was trying out some new dance move he saw on Youtube. It was like some Ninja mission or something, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to stand perfectly still, or run like hell. Then all of a sudden, he dives into his tank (Gary is somewhat untall, but has a great personality and a Big heart for those that don't know him.) Gary then comes back to the surface with the Tang in a rear-naked choke headlock, when all of a sudden the Tang tapped out. Needless to say, I ended up with my Tang and a story to tell. Thanks Gary (G-Ray), you're the Best!!!

p.s. Yes it all did happen, even if Gary doesn't admit it.

lol I love this story

Update on Purple tang.

He's doing great but definitely turned out to be sub dominant to the Yellow tang. He has a cave to one side of the tank that he stays close to and I used my mag float to hold seaweed right next to it and he comes out and munches frequently.

The Yellow drives by and gives him an occasional "stink eye" with a flooded chest just to keep him in check.
