Suggestions on how to curb aggression

I added my royal gramma today to the DT after being quarantined. The poor little guy is getting harrased by my sixline wrasse. His fins are being nipped and torn. What should I do to help lower the aggression of the wrasse? I fed the tank a lil heavy handed after adding the royal gramma just to be sure everyone was full and happy. I'm thinking about cutting the lights out early to give the gramma some rest. Any other suggestions? How normal is this? How long should I let it play out before intervening? I guess the problem is the sixline has had most of the tank to himself for about 1-1.5 months. There were a pair of clowns in there before the wrasse but they never go anywhere near the rock work or corals and just hang out near the overflow box (I've found this behaviour really odd, but they seem perfectly healthy and the wrasse has never bothered them). Thanks in advance, I'm a bit worried here.
