Sixline vs. Longnose Hawkfish

[scashman]

I introduced the hawkfish into the tank last night and the wrasse attacked it immediately. I turned the lights off and things settled down. This morning, the hawkfish is hiding behind my heater. The wrasse swims by to check it out but no attacks yet. I'm hoping they will check each other out and calm down. Is there anything I can do but hope they get along?

He should be fine in a few days. Six lines are very aggressive to new additions. Is the longnose larger than the six line?

My sixline does the same stuff. He killed one fish and will terrorize any fish that is small enough. I suggest getting fish that are bigger than the sixline. I even had to get extra large chromas to keep them from getting picked on.
