Need ideas

Ok I have had my new Orange fin tang for a week now. I added a Kole Tang 2 weeks before. The Kole is bullying the Orange fin into one corner. I have a 150 gallon tank, and have housed multiple Tangs in the past. Usually the aggression passes in a few days. The Orange fin is eating well, and determined to be out. But every time he swims more than a foot from the corner, The Kole chases him back into it. Starting to piss me off. Any Ideas????

 

Thought about the mirror trick, but cant find a mirror!!

 

You could try caging the kole until it gets used to the other's presence, and of course the old removing the aggressor, rearranging the rock, and add back after a bit trick (though your sump isn't very big which makes that harder)

 

Thanks for the suggestion....the problem I see is catching him. I have a lot of rock, and short of gutting the tank, I don't see a way to catch him. I do have a refugium that will hold him though.

 

I used the DIY bottle trap on here to catch a number of my fish without having to rip the tank apart. Put some nori on a clip inside the bottle. He'll go in after it eventually.
