Coral Beauty new to the tank.

We just introduced our new Coral Beauty to our new reef. He didn't even get a chance to get acclimated, when our Flame Angel came out of nowhere and began chasing him and nipping at him. Our tank advisors told us to turn off the lights so they would calm down, and see how it is in the morning. Will they eventually be OK together or should we remove the Coral Beauty from the tank??

Try rearranging your rock work, it will help break up the flame angels established territory.

What size tank is it? Depending size the tank my not be big enough for both angels.

Also you could try the mirror trick and see how the Flame responds. IMO, I think the aggression will continue.

You have a 220g, that's big enough, go with Top Shelfs thinking and some time.
There's a difference between agressive behavoir and out right attack resulting in injury, if this is the case, you need to watch real carefully
