Neal,

Sorry to hear about your Black Cap. Your Tang sounds quite aggressive since he/she has killed fish previously. Is there anyway you can remove the tang to a temporary tank, get the new fish, let the new fish get "settled in", and then reintroduce the tang? Sometimes that works. If not, then I don't want to be the one to tell you to get rid of it, but if the tang continues to kill newly introduced fish you may not have a choice. Either that or don't introduce new fish. FWIW
