So I have a 110 gallon aquarium that's been up for about a year with a yellow tang, two clowns and what used to be two genicanthus Watanabe angels. The larger Angel harassed the smaller one till it jumped ship when we were on vacation. Fast forward a month and I add three cirrhilabrus wrasses and a lawnmower blenny. The angel was harassing the wrasses, so she went to the sump for time out. I guess I'm wondering if reintroduction will work or it'll end up the same over time? I've heard of them living peacefully, but once a queen always a queen of the tank?
 
My experience, once a queen always a queen. Presently I have a blueline trigger that gets along fine with his present tankmates, but I can absolutely add no one else. Most measures seem to be only temporary, fish are like people more than you think.
 
You can try rearrange your rockwork bfore reintroduction, sometimes that'll work, the more extensive your change, the bettter, just my 0.02...(u can even use plastic ornaments for a while)
 
Most of the time aggression doesn't get better. You can try reintroducing via a social acclimation box, but that doesn't guarantee it will get any better.

Higher flow and more frequent feeding can help reduce aggression in some fish.
