Finally getting a Chevron Tang!

Not yet... email I got last night said it will be ready for pickup at 11:30am on either Thur or Friday. I will know the night before when he gets the tracking number on exactly which day it is. I will be taking off work just to pick this guy up and still in the bag so it doesn't have to be acclimated twice.
Well I got it.. unfortunately it has a very rough night. 
Got beat up real bad. First I tried it in my 75G and my potters angel went crazy on it fast.. within a couple minutes I knew that wasn't going to work so I put the tang in my 29G for the night to rest.. thinking that would be safer. This morning my Falco hawkfish was beating the crap out of it. Tang went from perfect fins when I got it to all frayed this morning. So I had to tear down/pull out all the rocks out of both my tanks, caught both the potters angel and tang, and did a swap. Potters angel is now in my 29G and tang is back in the 75G and no one bothering it now. I would love to take pics when the lights come on but I feel so bad for the tang I want it to heal before I take a good picture. What a stressful night/morning it has been.

Not the best picture.. here it is.. like I said, it had a rough first night and has some battle wounds that need to heal and also fatten up a lot, but it is very active in the tank, eating off the rocks, glass, and sand all day long and no one is bothering it except the cleaner wrasse which it loves and can't seem to get enough of.
Here is an updated pic.. been a very rough week for this fish and I had to setup a hospital tank to treat it, but it is recovering very nicely. The white streak at the top is glare from the lights, not something on the fish.

Tang died today... went downhill really fast over the last 24 hours. I did all I could do and it didn't help. That was a waste of $300. $140 for the tang and $160 for a hospital setup + meds + test kits.
