It appears as though my tang got in a fight and lost. I found up against my Koralia when I got home from work. He has some scaring, and one of his fins is badly damaged. I moved him to another tank. He is still breathing, but just laying on the bottom. Is there anything I can for him?

very sorry mate who do you think did him in? Let us know what else you have if you find your self at a loss.
Do you have other tangs? if so all tangs have barbs in the back just before there tail and will use them.
were they new additions, had they been in the tank together for a while? What type of tangs are/were they?
Tangs are very territorial towards other Tangs, I once saw a purple and a yellow fight to the death, both died.
If you are going to introduce two Tangs into the same tank it is almost always recommended to introduce them all at the same time, with very few exceptions by species.
Sorry to hear about your loss, I for one would blow a gasket if either my Yellow or my Pacific Blue died, they are my favorite fish in my tank.

Sorry, I won't personally try it until I have a far larger tank and even then I'll not get 2 of the same group.Yeah...it was another tang.
