How long to keep blonde naso tang in jail

[Mr. Acantho]

Being aggressive to vlamingi tang that I acquired two weeks ago. Circling & chasing it

Also just being a naughty fish by stealing shrimp that I target fed my acanthos and think it's smarter than me by escaping me for +1 hour through the rockwork.

I primarily put in jail for the vlamingi tang. How many days?

Interesting. I have a large naso that is one of the most mellow tangs I have. I added a small vlamingii a few months back with no issues.
Stealing food from corals is what fish do. The only way I know to prevent that is to cut the bottom off a 2 liter bottle and cover the coral and feed through the top of the bottle. No fish is as bad as cleaner shrimp thievery. They dig down inside a coral to pull food out
