Blue tang Killing open brain

Hi, I have a open brain about 1 1/2 year and a blue tang 1 year. After 1 year my blue tang start niping the open brain. I try everithing I move it all over the tank. please some help.

 

please some one.

 

Which do like more, The Tang or the Brain?

 

I had the same problem with my two, I ended up moving the OB to a back corner out of the way were the BT does not realy go it took a few months but the OB started to perc back up to its old self .
BTs are a regular ofender of attacking OB
hope that helps.

 

sadly i think alw is right, the tang won't stop if it now views the brain as food.
the only suggestion i could give you is try making sure the tang has plenty of nori to eat

 

I feed dry algae, brine shrimp with spirulina, myssis, squid, plankton and some times pellets. If a move the OB to the refugium and I put him back in a feew weeks?

Note: I have anothe OB and he is ok by now.

 

Try puttting several long leaves of lettuce in there and see what happens. Once they realize that is food I bet he will leave everything else alone. My blue tang eats an amazing amount of lettuce per day. I think they are a very high energy fish and require more food than most people think to be happy.

 

I am not joking here....Maybe it's time for a nano. And the OB can be the first coral in it. A little 10g would suffice and it could double as a frag tank.

 

Thank, I'll try the letuce and I let you all know how it works. And about the nano, I was planing to set one in a feew month, maybe I have to speed up my plans.

 

Broccoli is far better then any lettuce or Nori I have use Broccoli to help reverse the damage of lateral line it works better then any food or medication I have ever used or seen. It will last day and not break down in the water and will offer far more nutrient's then lettuce . I allow my tangs to pick it to the nub and it helps to keep them mentally distracted and busy and entertained and preoccupied after the tang is like a cow they move and graze all day long its their Job.
