    A month to the day after I decided to get a Yellow Tang FINALLY finally my crummy LFS got a small healthy yellow tang in. I think I passed on about a dozen sick Tangs before this one showed. Funny thing is I got it home and added it to the tank my Coral beauty had a rather odd reaction. The Coral Beauty is the alpha fish in the tank. Generally well behaved but boy at first it didn't like the Tang. Taking turns charging it from half way across the tank. :eek: I thought o lord I am going to have to fish the tang(remove 90# LR not fun). This went on for like 5 minutes then out of the blue the CB found out why they call them surgeonfish. The tang connected with a well placed tail spine to the CB's lip and the relationship changed in a instance. Suddenly the tang gained some respect and that when I got weird. :tongue4: . Anybody who has read up on the love life of Pygmy angels know there a bit odd and now instead all aggression one pass will be mean and the next pass will be what I have read to be Coral Beauty flirting. Two swim in a circle showing off there fins. If you can't beat' em flirt with' em.
    I don't know I just thought it was interesting.

    Thin line between love and hate.

    Happened the other way around in my tank. The yellow tang is the alpka fish in my tank. The coral beauty got introduced later. As soon as the CB was placed in the tank the tang attacked it. This went on for probably 10 minutes before the CB gave a serious wallop to the side of the tang. Ever since then things have been peacful.
