Default Domino damsel Bad behavior

Well I have a domino damsel that is quite large, and he is becoming a pest in the tank. He has a absoulte hate on for some of my fish, and will chase them all over the tank. I keep taking one of them out of my overflow. Some of the fish are newer then he is, some have been in the tank longer. I recently added 2 new fish and he hates the yellow wrasse but will leave the blenny alone.

What are the options now? I don't really want to re-aquascape. Can I remove him and re-introduce him at a later point? I don't really want to sell him.

Is there anyway to curb his bad behavior

Thanks

typical for damsels, removing them and reintroducing later may help but it will still likely cause issues. Best to find him a new home.

When he gets larger, he will loose his white spot, then his dark black will turn to a ugly dead grey color.
They all change to grey when they get old.
Not so pretty then...
