Default yellow tang - butterfly fish problem

I've just added a copperbanded butterfly to my 55 gallon tank which
contains a sharpnosed puffer and some clown fish. Problem is the tang
is hassling the butterfly fish, which is now hiding. Will this settle
down, is there anything I can do to help or have I got no chance! -
the tang is bigger than the butterfly fish
thanks
tim

next day they were friends.

cheers for your reply, the tang had to go in the end, was picking away
at the butterfly's fins, replaced him with a smallish regal tang,
which seems fine
