Tangs will fight with each other. Sohals are one of the most aggressive types of tang out there, so if it continues, it may result in the yellow tang losing its life (they'll fight to the death). Once the sohal establishes its dominance, things should settle down, but there are no guarantees. They are flipping their tails at each other because they can stab each other with the thingamabobs on their tails (spurs? I can't remember the word).

You added all three fish at the same time (two tangs and the koran)? You might see a spike in your parameters since you added three relatively large fish to a newish tank. Test your water and be ready to do a large-ish water change if you need to, and in the future it's better to add one fish at a time.

biff i think the word is sacpula or something to that affect. also they arent large at all. the koran is probably an inch in length and the yellow and sohal are maybe 3 inches. also i think after turning the lights back on im think the yellow tang is more aggresive since the yellow tang follows the sohal and i saw the yellow take a lung at the sohal and when they are side by side the sohal when turn away and leave the area

Very nice looking fishes Fishfan, did you add them all at the same time? If you did be sure to watch for parameter changes. I like your additions for sure.

yeah i added them all yesterday and im checking the parameters closley. but the good thing is they never hid they have been out and about since minute one

ok so over two weeks ago when i added my clean up crew i put in two emerald crabs and until now i counted them both as a loss because i have never seen them. but to say im sitting really close to my tank staring into it and i same one of them barely poking out of between two rocks. is there a reason to why im just now barely seeing one.

I used to have one in my 24 I only saw once in a while. He just liked to stay behind the rocks.
