Pyjama tangs are highly terratorial....possibly one of the most and will chase and persecute any newly added fish. The PJ tang obviously sees the CB as a threat to its terratory.
Not a lot you can do except remove one or the other fish. The chasing may die down, but by then, it may be too late and the CB may have been killed or stressed so much that you'll get a whitespot outbreak....then you'll have problems.
I'd personally get rid of the PJ tang as you'll have the same problems with any newly added fish in future. Shame as they're a stunning fish.
