Foxface relentlessly bullying swallowtail angel

[Tikosyn]

Hi all,

So I have a 160g aquarium, the foxface and angel have been together for quite awhile, there has always been some aggression from the foxface but it was mainly when the angel would swim by. It has gotten to the point where my angel is literally hiding behind my gyre most of the day until my foxface goes to sleep in the rocks, then he comes out and swims around for a bit. The foxface chases him around the powerhead frequently, and flashes his spines at him. If I didn't have a top of my tank, the angel would have jumped out at least 10 times already, I see it going on all day. Anyone ever have an aggressive foxface? Any way I can solve this?

Current stock list:

1 foxface rabbitfish
1 masked swallowtail angel
1 bellus angel
1 zoster butterfly
2 snowflake clowns
1 yellow tang
1 kole tang
1 black cap basslet

There are a few tricks like attaching a mirror to the tank and rearranging your rock. What I did for my aggressive majestic angel was I took him out and put him in my qt tank for a few days and rearranged my rock so all my other fish got used to the new setup. After about 5 days I added him back in and aggression was mostly gone.
