I have a Clown fish, 2 chromis, and A flametail Blenny in a 50 gallon tank. Recently I have noticed aggression from the larger chromis and the clownfish directed towards the blenny. What do you think the cause could be and is there a way that I can get rid of this aggression?

I've never had luck keeping chromis or damsels without aggression. Sometimes it takes a few months or just once they get bigger, but they eventually learn they're quick enough to intimidate other (often larger) fish and get cocky.

Yes, unfortunately, once this behavior starts there's not a lot you can do. It's probably a territorial issue that develops when the fish gets closer to sexual maturity.
You could try pulling the chromis out for a couple of weeks or rearranging your rock, but that's sort of disruptive and I'd bet that any benefit would be short-term.
