I purchased a small Tomini Tang today, about 2" long. He looked great in the LFS, swimming all around, was plump, and overall looked healthy. My LFS QT's their fish for several days before adding them to the main system. He must have come in 1-2 weeks ago I believe.
We added him in around 5, and a short time ago we noticed some white blotches on his side. Is this possibly from the rocks or stress? I remember my Yellow Tang turning brown when he was scared. Currently in the tank is 2 false percs, 1 purple firefish, 1 reg. firefish, 1 green mandarin, and a male lyretail anthias. The anthias is about the size of the tang, and went after him when we first added him. The tang turned around and did his tail whip, and the anthias swam off.
Now he's chasing the anthias around, swatting his tail on the anthias tail. Not the spike, but the tail tip, like a threat. Maybe putting him in his place? He's pecking at algae around the tank too.
