I have a Coral Hawkfish

and just introduced a lawnmower blenny to my 180g tank. The hawkfish is chasing the lawnmower blenny around the whole tank - attacking it. Would this stop after a while? What should I do? Remove the hawkfish?

as long as no damage is being done i would wait it out. I've had fish do this before and within a few days they are fine.

I had to remove an aggressive Spotted Hawkfish from my tank. Its behavior never improved. They are aggressive by nature.

Catching the Hawkfish was almost impossible, as it was smart enough to avoid almost every method I tried. I finally had to remove most of the LR and water to catch it.
