Hippo tang and Lunare wrasse fighting big time!

I have a 150 fo with a lunare wrasse and hippo tang that are beating the crap out of each other. The lunare wrasse has wounds and punctures all over it from the hippo and the hippo's fins are all shredded from the wrasse biting him! They were together for months with no problem. The hippo is about 4" and the wrasse is about 6-7". When I watch them the hippo just bothers the hell out of the wrasse until the wrasse bites him. I know the tang slaps him with his sword but i have never seen him do it. So, what i did was put the tang in my QT(30g) so he can heal. What do i do once he is healed. Why are these fish fighting like this. I also have a naso and yellow tang,potters angel,koran angel, and an emperor angel with the wrasse and they all get along fine. I know i could just bring one back to the *** store but thats not that great of an idea when you like the fish and have had it for a while!
