    One more question. Later on could I add some anthias to the tank without the tangs attacking them?

    i just went through this worry with a yellow tang last week. He grazed on the rock for a few days, then finally on the 5th day I took a little bit of tank water in a paper cup, and put a couple of drops of garlic in the water. I soaked the nori for about 5 mins, then completely covered a small piece of rubble so that it looked like algae growing on the rock and attached it with green hair bands. And BOOM!! He went after it finally. This is the only way i can get him to eat. If the nori is on the clip, or attached to a rock and waving in the current, he wont touch it. I guess he just doesnt recognize it as food.
