My Desjardini Tang has been in the tank about 6 months and just started nibbling at and eating zoas. The fish is about 6" long, tank is a 48" wide 120 gallon. Other fish: foxface, bristletooth tang, hippo tang, purple tang, pajama cardinal, flame hawkfish, 3 azure damselfish, maroon clown. There is no aggression but I think the fish will be removed in a week or two if the damage continues as expected. I'm thinking of adding a 3-4" female bellus angel plus another small fish, maybe a second genicanthus angel. Any recommendations? I'll miss the tang which is the best algae eater ever, including eating bubble algae.

My sailfin consumes Kenya trees and pulsing xenia like there's no tomorrow. Fortunately, he does not eat my zoas. I had a bi-color angel for a while, he was definitely not reef safe. Had to remove him.
