Fish fighting

[Deontae]

Hey guys I picked up a splendid wrasse about a week ago. I was nervous about the aggressive nature of dottybacks but it seems to be the one getting bullied. I keep seeing my male clownfish chase him around, and now he is missing a part of his dorsal fin. Will they eventually get use to each other or will I have to revoke them?

Dottybacks can be real jerks.
If needs be, place it in the sump for a week or two and allow wrasse to get used to the tank and eat peacefully
