Interesting fish behavior.
So it seems 2 of my maroon clown fish pairs have befriended yellow tangs in two different tanks.

210 gallon tank
Just added this yellow tang, and the lighting maroons were added a week or so ago. First night yellow tang was hiding on other side of the tank. The very next morning I find him sleeping in literally the same exact cave as the maroon clownfish. They show zero aggression towards the yellow tang. But they chase away any of the cardinal fish that near their cave.
40 gallon sps tank.

The yellow tang in this tank isn't maybe a half inch to a inch bigger than the new one. But he's gotten is full vibrant yellow coloring now.
The golden nugget maroons in this tank are my second biggest pair. 1.5-2.75 inches. They also have made friends with this yellow tang. They hate the foxface fish to the extreme, and get annoyed with the six line wrasse when it starts it zipping around them game. But they ignore the cardinal fish in this tank.

Full tank shot of 210.
Tomorrow I would like to get the addtional kessils installed on this tank. I may also consider adding 1-2 tester hammers, and maybe some other random lps corals to see how they do.
