Anyone have a saddlebacks established and then add a new fish?

I have a big female and a little male in my 75g who have been in the tank for quite some time. I recently added C. argi and the female just does not want see this new fish out swimming. The cherub tries to swim around to nip on the rocks but when the female saddle back sees it out it swims really fast to the new fish to make it hide. It doesn't try to kill it or beat it up, just wants it to stay out of sight. Once it hides, it looks around the rock to make sure she can't see it and then it goes back to swimming on the opposite side of the tank

Will the aggression stop? It's been like this for two days so far
 
I've got a pair in a 40 gallon. They've been in there for about a year. I added a small Singapore angel several months after my clowns were established. I was anxious about it, but it was really funny - the angel headed right for the clowns and hung around their anemone for the first week it was in the tank. I think the angel may have been responding to the clown's colors, which were like its own. The clowns did some posturing for the first hour or so, but then lost interest and tolerated him practically in the nem with them.

I think you'll be ok, but I would definitely keep an eye on them.
 
she's still chasing it out of site. she hovers in the middle so she can get to the angel faster

oh and the poor chromis i have is getting picked on by the angel. lol.. i guess the angel has to take out his anger out on someone if he's going to stay on one side of the tank all day
