I just added a small (1 1/2in.) six line wrasse to a 28 HQI Nano-Cube with two small tank bred percula clowns and a medium sized spotted hawkfish. The hawkfish is harassing the six line wrasse constantly and this is the 2nd day the wrasse has been in the tank. The wrasse still comes out to eat but he hides in rock and under corals most of the day. Is he going to die of stress or do you think the hawkfish will calm down with time?

Sixlines are pretty tough. If he's still eating, and not physically damaged, I think he will be fine.

Wait until your Percula clowns reach sexually maturity, then the six line will really be harassed. Until then, he should probably survive, but it is not likely to be a friendly environment for him.

The percula clowns are tank bred, will that make them any less aggressive? (I know it makes them more hardy).

No change on the aggression level of sexually mature ones. They will want to control about 25 gallons
