I have a 46g bowfront and the purple firefish is staying under some live rock after i added a coral beauty. Will he eventually come back out? the beauty is peacefull and does not bother anyone, but the firefish does not seem to like it very much

firefish in general r very shy. mine hides all the time, except during feeding. its really 50/50. in ur case, it will most likely come back out after it gets used to the new fish.

Keep an eye on the beauty. As Bob mentioned, firefish can be rather docile, and dwarf angels can be bullies if there's nothing to police them.
That's not a guarantee you're going to have angels, just information that there's an aggression and size difference between the species that should be monitored.
