I'm new here, and to saltwater aquariums in general...so bear with me.
I have a 155 bowfront and recent added a clown tang to my group of other tangs consisting of a powder brown, pacific blue, and yellow tang. I thought that all tangs got along, but the powder brown is really beating the new clown tang. is this normal?  thanks in advance.

 No its just the total opposite with tangs and with the two similar brown ones then it just went up a notch .. But if you have plenty of hiding spaces and the newer one is allowed to eat in a few days then they will set the new pecking order then the tables may totally turn and the P/Br will or could be on the run.. But I'd allow them a few days to a week to sore it out .. There is a good chance they will contrary to what many would say

Welcome to the forum
I found they never get along totally but tend to get along better after a while. I always found the clown tang to be the boss after a while.

Yeah!  My clown is the major alpha bully terrorist meanie.  And grew like a weed in the first year - is now about 5" long.
