Aggressive Coral Beauty toward Maroon

[dioworld]

Hi ,
I recently bought a coral beauty, first 2 days it looks pretty peaceful with the smaller maroon, but this morning when I woke up, I saw some sign of scar on the maroon, slight damage fin and little bit on the body.
Now I'm seeing the maroon swimming closer to the top to avoid the CB. I remember I had those before and CB was pretty peaceful. Do you think it's just initial aggression or will it get worse? It's not like the CB is charging hard on the maroon every single time, just occassional looks bully toward the CF. Do I need to talk to the LFS and trying to see if they can take back the CB?
Thanks

Try acclimation box maybe

What size is the tank? Picture of the setup could help too. Do you have plenty of hiding spots and rockwork to break line of sight?

100 Gallon, yup, plenty of rocks, 60 inch

Definitely try keeping the CB in an acclimation box for a few days or you can also try putting a big mirror on the side of the tank for a bit to diffuse aggression.

Thanks. will see if we have any extra mirror laying around.
Luckily the CB is not constantly looking and chasing it to attack. But the stupid clown knowing the big guy going to attack him sometimes he just swim directly toward him.

Are you planning on getting an anemone? That definitely would tip the scales.

Yes I do. Went to LFS and they're selling pretty expensive. I'm thinking of buying online or from local memeber if anyone has one available

There were three at the frag swap! There's definitely some available here from other members. Check the different forums here like pay it forward or maybe one of the DBTC listings.
