I got this Mimic Lemon Peel Tang to get more worker bees in a tank and it got an immediate beat down from a powder brown and yellow tang. Didn't even last 5 min in the tank before fins were all torn up and it was pinned to the bottom of the tank by both killers. Had to take it out immediately and it's been in the sump recovering and doing good. Fins are all healed except for one of the pectoral fins. It eats pellets and frozen. Took a quick video of it eating and swimming. Would like $40 for it or trade for other fish that I don't already have or less likely to be killed by the other tangs. It's a juvenile on the larger size. Around 3.5-4". It's in my tiny sump in the tank at home now so would like it to be in a new larger home sooner than later. Pick up in Irvine.

Whenever you add a new tang, always use an acclimation box. They usually harass them for a few days and sometimes leave them alone. But A box will help greatly.
