Introducing Tangs .. Goes something like this ... Hello, I am Yellow Tang ... Hello, I am Regal Tang, but call me Blue, So nice to meet you!       OK, it's not always this pleasant ... Read on .....

When introducing different tangs to one another (providing the aquarium is large enough for multiples) it is always a good idea to introduce them after the lights are out to help eliminate stress from the resident tang.  As a general rule, it is best to add tangs from different families (E.g. Zebrasoma, Acanthurus, Naso, etc) so fighting over territories is minimized.  Some individuals can be overly aggressive and may need some extra work.  Rearranging the rock work in the aquarium sometimes makes the aggressor thing territories have changed allowing the new tang to claim some of his own.
