Day old hawkfish already harassing wrasse

[dope100]

32 Biocube with clownfish, bar goby, melanarus wrasse, just added the spotted hawkfish last night. I woke up this morning and right after the wrasse resurfaced from the sand he was chased by the hawkfish and went back under. Will this problem solve itself? The wrasse is much bigger than the hawkfish and has been in the tank for about 2 weeks

My experience has been:
Hawk antagonizing wrasses and anthias
Hogging the food
Eating the shrimp if any

I just googled spotted hawkfish, the first thing that came up is "it is an aggressive fish that will bully peaceful fish.". I would guess it is unlikely it will change its habits.

The wrasse should fight back at some point as they aren’t a totally peaceful species.
