Default Will giving a female clownfish a mate reduce aggression to other fish?

Hopefully its a quick question...
Trying to decide if its worth trying to pick up a new male for my single female clown tomorrow.

She has become aggressive to the point where shes been picking on my Sailfin tang and has split the tangs lower fin, and even my hogfish, whos 3x the clowns size, got a chunk removed from his tail.
All 100% the clowns doing. Not territorial to 1 specific area either.

She lost her mate a few months back (not her fault) and Im wondering if its worth replacing him, if she will stick to doing clown things with him and give the other fish a bit of a break or if she will teach him to terrorize the bigger fish too.
I know they are clownholes, but im just wanting to reduce the amount of fin damage shes doing. Not looking to get rid of her either despite the attitude.
Hoping it will lessen the attitude towards the others if shes focused on whipping him into shape....

Thanks!
