I have a convict tang in my frag tank that must be able to see its reflection because its always attacking the glass... the only other fish is a pink streak wrasse so hes pretty much alone. Should I add another fish? Is there a way to keep the glass reflection free outside of letting coralline algae cover the glass lol.

Thanks,

sometimes lights besides or in front of the tank can get rid of its reflection... are you sure its seeing its reflection though? It could also be a size issue. Let us know what happened I don't want him to die.
