    This still applies regardless of the size of your tank.

    For a temp fix yes but for long term maybe find the tang another home? or grow him bigger then a new home so that way you can make a profit after the sale.

    My male wrasse used to attack his reflection all the time when he was newer to the tank, but after awhile he stopped. I think he just got used to seeing his reflection, as well as getting more comfortable in his new home.

    You're not going to be able to keep a hippo tang for too long in a RSM250 anyway; you may as well work on finding him a new home now.

    He is probably just settling into its new home but the RSM 250 is really not big enough for any tangs let alone a blue tang and a and yellow tang.

    Yeah, I mean, if you can keep any tangs in the RSM250, it would be the Tomini, Kole, or another bristletooth (Ctenochaetus genus); definitely not the blue tang or the Zebrasomas...
