Help with Yellow Coris vs Leopard Wrasse

I have a Yellow Coris wrasse that is about two inches long. Today, i recieved a blue-star leopard wrasse who is about the same size as the yellow Coris. After acclimation i released the Leopard wrasse and he seemed to be doing well (picking at the rocks and cruzing the reef slope). Yet as soon as the Coris and the leopard made eye contact, the Coris tried to bite the Leopard. It doesn't seem like the Coris is trying to chase the Leopard down, but he does try to attack if the leopard gets to close. The crazy thing is that the leopard keeps sticking by the Coris. I turned off the lights and have already feed my tank way more than usual. Does anyone think this could possibly have a positive outcome for the Leopard wrasse? Or have any suggestions?
I forgot to mention i have a 60 gallon tank.
