I was also told when introducing like species that could have issues 2 thing you can do if you are able that kinda reset or calm things down.

Rework the rock work a bit then no one owns one spot and everyone is finding their space again.
Also, a 24 hours lights out period. Not sure of the advantage, but it worked for when I had a coral beauty and a rusty angel. They got along splendidly.

As for the hiding, the foxface I had did that with my tang for awhile until they realised that the tank is big enough for the both of them, and they are still both going to get fed. For awhile there was a battle, foxface would dive attack tang with its venom fins, and the tang would slash at him with his tail barb. But after awhile they realised it wasnt getting them anywhere and they got along just fine.
