    Purchased a Starry Blenny today. Nice size, probably 2.5 inches and healthy. I placed him in my tank and soon afterwards the yellow tang that I purchased last week starts picking at it. On one or two occasions it had the blenny it its mouth. The compatibility chart that I looked at says there should not be a problem. Any thoughts/recommendations?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Turn off the lights, try to move a couple rocks around if possible or tape a small hand mirror to the outside of the tank to distract the Tang.
