    I recently started to regrow my Red Sea Max 130d. It suffered a 10 day lower outage. I recently added a bunch of zoa frags, clove polys, and mushrooms. I currently have a hawkfish who bullied my wrasse out of the tank. Before the outage when i had clows and a royal gramma the hawk was very peaceful. Is he bow agressive because he was alone in the tank ofr many months? I would rather not rearange the rocks even though that might fix the issue. What fish can i getthat would do well in my 34 cube and not get bullied?
    I will post pictures soon.
    Open to suggestions.
    Thanks

    Clowns and Dottybacks can usually hold their own, though you will want them to be of similar/ larger size to the hawkfish when you get them. I would recommend rearranging at least some rock and add them at night to reduce the risk of bullying.

    being alone in the tank could cause the fish to be more territorial IMO. I would do just what Astrick said.
