    do you have the tank lights on Jdameli?

    could the tang be seeing its own reflection and think its been introduced to a tank with another powder blue in it

    I would jdameli

    that should help the fish settle down, and by tomorrow behaviour may change
    leave your glass a little bit dirty whilst this fish is settling in also
    that way any reflection it sees will not be very clear and thus should not excite/ stress it as much
