Introduce my clowns...they whooped his butt. Try the photo trick I told you about. You can turn the lights off for a few days too. Also that guy is a pig, try feeding a lot but of course do plenty of water changes.

Not sure how true it is but I've heard of even number of tangs being bad news for aggression. I would gather further opinions on that before taking it to the bank so to speak.
What you should do is get a acclimation box and place one in there for a few days. I use hamster balls from Petco. The clear balls where the hamster runs around on the floor trapped.
