    Ive just added a Naso Tang to my reef aquarium (no more then 2 hours ago)
    and since he has entered it seems to be getting constant abuse from the half black angel.

    will this stop after the naso's been in a while or should i get him the hell out of there?

    thanks guys

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You can try

    1. Turn off the lights and leave them off for a day
    2. Move some rocks around and see if that will be a big enough distraction.
    3. Tape a makeup mirror or any small mirror to the tank to distract the angel.

    Good luck
