yellow tang and bannerfish

i just added a bannerfish to my tank and the yellow tang is chasing it around and nipping at it. will this die down? why is this happening? i also added 2 true percs and there fine. the bannefish is smaller than the YT.

My yellow tang was ruthless against my niger trigger after about three days he mellowed out, they are usually just establishing there territory against the newcomer but i would watch them for a while. another thing that i did was put a small mirror on the glass and the tang was spellbound and left the trigger alone long enough to settle in and not get to stressed out to the point of killing my tang

What sized tank is this? If the tang is crowded as it is he is not likely to accept another fish that needs a lot of room easily.
