lol thats kind of funny, there usually pretty docile and will just flare and gape there mouths at other fish.
maybe he's protecting you, blue tangs are generally nasty fish and will easily out grow your 150 in a year or so, and the damsel will be even more will bully everything anyway |

My Royal Grama did the same think when I put a hippo tang in my tank. I thought for sure the tang would be dead within a day. After a few weeks they got along fine. You should be ok!

he's probably just showing his dominance and claiming his territory to new arrivals, my gamma from a few years ago would do that to new introduced fish but would back off after a day or so.. give it a lil time but monitor if it gets worse. let us know how it turns out
