Default trade in

6 lines are notorious for being highly aggressive as they get beyond the 1"+ sizes. Quagmire's advice is good and may resolve the problem. Your new tank with the size increase may also resolve the problem. But I believe both resolutions will be temporary. Your best bet is to trade in your 6 line for a smaller one and introduce both into your big tank at same time. Or to allow your angel into the large tank long enough to grow and get healthy before introducing the 6line. good luck

My 6 line used to go after everything new that went into the tank. I found rearraning the live rock (or tank decor) before puting in the new fish seemed to help. Good luck at catching him without taking the entire tank apart if you do decide to trade him in for a smaller one!

Strangely enough, after my heater broke in two and fried everything in my tank except the 6 line and lawnmower (including every invert and coral in my 120gal) he became so passive that even my anthias can scare him off.
So I guess my suggestion is to either rearrange your tank or electocute your 6 line into a new personality.
