Default Aggressive Tang

Yesterday i bought a lawnwmower blenny and two blue green chromis. I got the blenny in there 1st and the tang looked at him and swam away, but when the chromis got in he turned into a madman!! He chased them around like he was a grouper. It's now day 2 and its still going on, will this stop eventually or will it stop when they die from stress? Thanks

how big is your tank? and is the tang a yellow or purple? They are usually the more agressive, I have a 90 gallon with a convict tang, a naso tang, and 5 blue green chromis, as well as an eel, and a true perc, and they all get along fine, unless they are hungry, have you feed them.

55 gallon and it's a powder brown tang. today it seems to be better so maybe he was mad that he has to share the spotlight with others. Thank you though
