I have a coral beauty that seems territorial, he is also a bully. I believe he had a hand in picking at my ignitus anthias tail and stressing him out to the point he was found dead this morning. I caught the CB and now have him in a diy container in the tank. Will this curb his territorial-ness? How long should I leave him here for? My clowns haven’t really ventured to his big rock that he claimed so they may be scared. rescaping is also not an option
 
Coral beauties are generally mild fish a lot of factors involved with that behavior seen size of the tank aquascape tankmates etc etc
 
Dwarf angels can be aggressive. And acclimation boxes help in some situations.

How big is the tank?
 
38g very similar dimensions to 40 breeder

Generally I wouldn't recommend a coral beauty for that tank size.

The clowns can probably hold their own, but the angel may be hard on other fish.
