You can remove it for a couple weeks and put it back in the display. Territory will reset. If you can also move/add some rocks before you add him back even better

Put a mirror on the glass of the tank

That big LPS coral in the front looks awesome with all those colors popping! I’ve heard tangs can get super territorial, maybe try rearranging some rock to break up their sight lines? Might help chill things out a bit!

I feel so bad for him. It’s been about a week and he’s been reduced to like a 5 x 5 location in the tank that he hangs out in all day. Gonna try the mirror suggestion like the other people have said and give the tang something else to do lol
