My Desjardini Sailfin and purple tang snipping Acan

[nly04]

I have some acan in the past and they all death. I just got two acan from a trade with bro Jonny. I noticed my Desjardini Sailfin and purple tang snipping Acan. what should I do? how to prevent them not to et acan?

Keeping the tangs well fed with nori may help but unlikely in the long term.
Remove the acan/Remove the fish.

Maybe put a clear plastic container with small holes in it around the acans for awhile? Is there algae on the acans at all?

+1 on checking for algae around the Acans.
They might be eating that. Especially on the frag plug.

Sounds like starving tangs to me
How often do you feed your fish and what are the offered foods?

 

[nly04]

I feed them one a day every day. ontop of it, I also feed new era grazer one a week, this is just like nori.

tangs are grazing animals. Similar to cows, they will chomp on stuff throughout the day. If you don't have enough live rock/algae growth they will need to be supplemented more often than once a day.
