Hawkfish and rabbitfish

I've written on my hawkfish before and have another question. The Hawkfish (Hawaiian) has been the olny one in my 75 gal tank for a while until I started having GHA problems. I got a lawnmower blenny but the hawkfish terrorized him to where he keeps hidden behind one of the returns at the top of the tank. I took the hawkfish out yesterday with hopes that the blenny will come down and start grazing away and have yet to see it. I'll give him more time. I also got a one spot rabbitfish which seems to graze pretty well on the GHA. Anyway, I'm debating on getting rid of the hawkfish because all of the LFS around here tell me that he will be very territorial and aggressive with other fish that are put in after him. (1) Has anyone had the same experience with a hawkfish being aggressive to other fish?

(2) They told me that one spot rabbit fish are pretty resistant to disease and parasites (like ich). Is this true?

They will get too large for a 75 I was lucky to have mine adopt by That Fish Place's 700 gallon.

Yes to the hawkfish, I have a Red Spotted and we love him to DEATH.
