I wish there was. Established tangs can be very aggressive. Yellow tangs can be one of the worst. You can try rearranging the rocks or removing the Yellow for a week or so to let the butterfly get established.

Yup! It is just something that you learn over time. Tangs are the last animals that I put in in my tank if I could help it.
Also, the threadfin bfly is one of the more un-reefsafe bflies. You might have trouble keeping your corals if it stays in the tank.

I would just disconnect the pump and drain out of the water in the sump out and replace it with new water, ASAP.
